I think you would have to shell out on a private investigator to get the answer to that one

Ooooh :think: :think:

I'm good Just had mummy on the phone offering to take me shopping today to get my interview attire Plus she offered to take me food shopping normally I'd say no, but I've just used my last spoonful of coffee :eek: got a hole in my marigolds :eek: :eek: and my petrol light is flashing :eek: :eek: :eek:

Must crack on first though and do some housework, told her I'm not allowed out the house till I've done all the things I need to do!

Have a good day, if I log back in here before 5pm please shout at me

Hmm we do this one alot at home

I reckon it had to be the egg - thinking with an evolutionary biology head on

Egg embryo will be a genetic mutation of whatever produced it (ie ancestor of the chicken) and then when born with the mutant gene being dominant to make it more chicken-ish less like its ancestor mother (*ancestor NOT ancient - not all mummies are ancient)

- hey presto in the manner of evolution and all of darwins theories a new speices is born

- the mother of the 'mutant chicken bird' would look at the offspring and think 'OK something with you isnt quite right' but she loves it anyway - SO THE NEW MUTANT CHICKEN GROWS UP AND IS ABLE TO REPRODUCE

- and the dominant gene in the newly mutant (now chicken) reproduces with something of its own clan (mutant or non mutant) and a new chicken will again be born.

Until we get modern chickens (?)

You can tell my MSc was in taxonomy eh? (eg what makes a species a species)

WELL ITS ONLY MY THEORY..............:D

Sorry for introducing too much geekiness into thread - normal service resumed

Lamsari well done on the poster - go you and lovely you got a treat with ex-wine money

DB - sorry missed you last night - I hope the DS was suitably sorry when he arrived home

The rest of you hello sleepy and a bit distracted here - visitors in a work, we all slept in etc - whoops!
