http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif Why did the chicken cross the road?
Plato - For the greater good.

Macchiaveli - The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The ends of crossing the road justify whatever motive there was.

Karl Marx - It was a historical inevitability.

Martin Luther King Jr - I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

Moses - And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto the Chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the Chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

Ludvig von Beethoven: What? speak up.

Fidel Castro - To continue the revolution.

Charles Darwin - It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees.

Albert Einstein - Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends on your frame of reference.

Sigmund Freud - The fact that you thought the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

Friedrich Nietzsche - It was an Überchicken exercising his will to power.

The Sphynx - You tell me.

Buddha - Asking this question denies your own chicken nature.

Homer Simpson - (drooling) Mmmm... chicken.

Scientology leader - The reason is in yourself you just cannot see it. By means of only $US1.500 you'll receive our book, our video and our lie detector to make you a psychological analysis, so you'll find the reason.

Bill Clinton - I swear nothing has happened between the chicken and me.

Neo - The chicken doesn't exist.

George W. Bush - The fact the chicken crossed the road with all impunity represents a huge menace to democracy, justice and freedom worldwide. There's no doubt we should had bomb that road long time ago. With the purpose of guaranteeing the peace on that region and confront those terrorist acts the United Sates goverment has made the resolution of sending 17 aircrafts, 46 destructors and 154 frigates with the support by land of 243.000 soldiers of infantry and by air of 846 bombings that will have as a mission in the name of liberty and democracy to eliminate every single sing of life in about 5.000 milles near then with the missiles make sure that whatever by near or far henhouse alike is reduced to ashes so they can't dare to menace our nation anymore. After all we're going to help in the reconstruction, the country will be gentle directed by our goverment by putting a cock in charge democratically chosen by our embasor. To finance all the reconstruction work we will be compensated with the total domain of the cereal production during 30 years of course giving the people from the country a little part of the earnings. In this new country of freedom and peace we assure no other chicken will ever dare to cross the road just because there won't be roads anymore and chickens won't have legs. God bless America!

There's a version for X-Files fans too. I don't remember all of it, but here are a few of them...Warning, if you're not an X fan, these probably won't be too funny.

The Smoking Man: There was NO CHICKEN!

The Lone Gunmen: The Chicken diidn't cross the road. It was behind the Grassy knoll.

Mulder: To Expose the Truth about an ongoing government conspiracy to cover up the existence of Turkeys.

Mr. X.: Chickens are like sharks, Mr. Mulder...if they stop crossing the road, they die...

John Doggett: I'm not buyin' any of it! Chickens, roads? You're all full o' crap!

However, you should be very careful, because when you say you eat "Turkey" with a capital "t" you're actually suggesting you eat the country, which is obviously an impossibility (except maybe for Michelle Fatmanus) and might upset some of our Turkish members.

Butcher collects MBE with pen behind his ear 'in case Queen wanted to order Christmas turkey'

Hats are de rigueur when the Queen is awarding honours but this must be the first time she has been faced by a recipient sporting a pen.
William Lloyd Williams collected his MBE for services to the meat industry with a biro tucked neatly behind his ear at Buckingham Palace yesterday.

The popular butcher is known as something of a character in his home town of Machynlleth in Powys and is known for always having a pen ready to take an order - even after shop hours.

Enlarge http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/06/article-1225683-071B951E000005DC-249_468x320.jpg (http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/06/article-1225683-071B951E000005DC-249_468x320_popup.jpg) Butcher William Lloyd Williams has a ballpoint pen tucked neatly behind his ear as he collects his MBE for services to the meat industry from The Queen at Buckingham Palace.

When the news spread that he had been nominated for the honour his customers' first question was whether he would still have the trademark biro behind his ear, he said.

Royle Family star Sue Johnston, who was collecting an OBE, spotted the unusual addition to his outfit while they mingled before the ceremony.

He said: 'She said to me 'Excuse me but do you know you've got a biro behind your ear?' and I said, 'Yes, I'm a butcher and I thought the Queen might want a turkey for Christmas and I might have to take an order.'

'She liked that, she thought it was hilarious.'

He explained that he did ask the Palace's permission before bringing along his pen as he did not want to cause offence.

He said: 'I didn't want to be over-the-top or anything so I rang the palace and said, 'I always have a pen behind my ear, do you think it would be a problem', and they said that if I thought it was part of my personality then it would be OK.'

'When I got through the gates my wife said to me, 'Wil, take the pen off' so I did but while I was queuing up to go into the hall I put it back on again.

'The Queen did look and she smiled.

'I was accepting this award on behalf of the old fashioned butcher and as far as I'm concerned the pen is the symbol of your independent local butcher.

'They are closing every week, it is important to keep this rural local service going. It doesn't matter where you live, support your local butcher this Christmas.'

He runs a small abattoir and butcher's shop in Machynlleth and is an enthusiastic campaigner for local producers.

His website states that he is proud to sell meat from local farms, the furthest no more than 20 miles away, and he publishes a weekly list of the farmers he buys from complete with contact details.

Mr Williams, who took over the business founded in 1959 by his grandfather, has won a string of awards for his meat and was a finalist in BBC Radio 4's Food and Farming Awards in the best local retailer category.
