Give a point of view from different famous people.

Albert Einstein: Maybe the road beneath the chicken moved, it depends on your point of view.

Your turn!!!

Do you actually remember things like this? I'm not so sure that famous people aren't usually remembered to their "why did the chicken cross the road" responses. Either I'm mistaken in this respect, or people are going to have to google for that website that lists responses from a bunch of famous people.

the chicken crossed the road because people made the road...

if it were not for us people, chicken wouldn't have to cross the road..

That's irrelevant Token. The question is why did it cross the road. It could have easily stayed on the other side. What reasons did it have to cross the road, regardless of whether it would've been there or not.

Good God! It's a friggen joke! What's with the recent tearing appart of phrases and jokes?!

Why is it that people seem to be taking everything so literally of late; and in the process getting dumber and dumber. If you stat stupid move to the stats and vote Bush; at least that way you'll soon be living in a state where you don't need to think for yourself.

The chicken crossed the road because roads are made to be meant to be crossed.

Err no... the road was made to facilitate transport providing a smoother, more even surface to travel upon, whether by foot or wheeled vehicle.

The chicken crossed the road to become famous and eternally honoured for crossing a friggin road. Sigmund Freud : The fact that you care about a chicken crossing a road demonstrates your underlying sexual insecurities and issues.

While that is true, you did not quite catch the meaning of the sentence that I said. Crossed as in not "cross" by walking across the road but with the other meaning. Apparently the chicken being a chicken took the "cross" in the wrong sense and "crossed" the road by actually not "crossing" how a normal person would "cross" it

srry, but that doesnt make sense

so it walked 1/2 way "cross" the road and "crossed" back thus it never "cross" the road?

Am i even used "cross" in the write sense?

in this sense, cross is a verb, therefore it has a present tense, past tense and future tense... "crossed" is "to cross"'s past tense ... you cant say the chicken "cross" the road, because that is just improper grammar. you need to use the proper tense of the verb. either that or you're a redneck and you're using improper grammar and simply making the listener try to decipher what you're saying. it's like reading dan's writing.

however if you want to get extremely technical, you can try to list all the parts of past tense, present tense and future tense.. but i'm assuming you get this jist of it.

too bad chickens can't comprehend language at all, right? they can't interpret the charlie brown mumbo jumbo that comes out of us Razz ... however, cross means "to extend across, pass from one side to another". so which meaning were you trying imply that the chicken was told?
it is completely invalid to try to explain this through something that is impossible..
