Your code should be this:

Drop all the painted ponies by the riverside.

The basis of your assertion is incorrect. Methinks you're being
presumptuous by declaring check and mate prematurely.

I described below how one knows which came first and for which side of the ambiguity you choose to define "chicken egg". You're above analysis of determining chickens from non-chickens is fabricated confusion in your own mind. We don't need to know the time at which a bird became a chicken, nor do we need to know it's genetic makeup. It's not important to the greater question, all that is important is to know that at some point, no matter when that point was or what birds were involved, there was an instance when a hatched bird was a chicken that had two parents that were not chickens. At that exact event when the offspring was a chicken and the parents were not we know that the chicken was finally born. And that event had to happen unless you believe in Creationism or Intelligent Design. > I doubt that one can demarcate the non-chicken parents from the > chicken offspring. So... it is perplexing.

Then their order is reversed when printed on the picture. In honor of the British bastards like Robert Cummings ( :-P ) I used a British version of the old nursery rhyme, which starts, "A tisket, a tasket, a brown and yellow basket."

I wanted to do something a bit more involved, and as soon as I saw the first two lines of that nursery rhyme, I already had the vision in mind. However, I may be just a *bit* disturbed by your attraction to Ella Fitzgerald especially in her present state. Though if you've ever read her biography damn, what a tough lady!

Yes, but I was talking about predecessors to the chicken, like Archeopteryx (one of the first feathered dinosaurs), which is/was (my education is dated) believed to be the predecessor of birds. As far as eggs are concerned, they predate fish considerably. So, IF the question is "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" -- then the answer is clearly "the egg". However, if the question is "Which came first, the chicken or the chicken's egg?" -- then the answer is much less obvious. Evolution is alteration in the genetic code usually caused by changes in the critter's environment. So, the question becomes, is the alteration of the genetic code found in the egg a random fluctuation of genetic code not found in the parent, or is it the product of a lifetime experience, under the influence of the parent's environment, that changed the parents genetic code in reproduction? Also, there is a difference in the genetic code you have and the code your pass on in terms of dominance/preference with your spouse's genetic code. In other words, male and female produce something different than either of them. However, for both to reach reproduction age, they both had to have "successful" genetic makeup. As such, their offspring has a different chance, perhaps better, of reaching reproduction age and passing on it's contribution. Now at what point does the offspring differ enough in genetic code to be classified as a chicken? That's an interesting question considering that it's offspring may not be a chicken (consider that). Pre-chickens will have to go through numerous generations before producing a "true" chicken in our taxonomy. I doubt that one can demarcate the non-chicken parents from the chicken offspring. So... it is perplexing. Cheers, tedd From which point in the evolution do you call it a chicken egg? See it like bytes, is a fish egg, and is a chicken egg, then it went from fish egg to chicken egg like this: 0001 0011 0111 0001 0011 0111 So, at which point do you call it which egg, same with the fish and the chicken itself.
