Here are a few learned answers to the challenging scientific question: Why did the chicken cross the road?
SHERLOCK HOLMES: It's elementary, my dear Watson.
CAPTAIN JEAN-LUC PICARD: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.
ISAAC NEWTON: Chickens at rest tend to stay at rest. Chickens in motion tend to cross the road.
BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken Office 3000, which will not only take care of all your data processing needs but also cross roads and lay eggs as standard.
DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads.
CNN: We will get back to the chickens soon.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: It was a relatively easy thing to do
WATSON and CRICK: It seems to boil down to morphology in the end. After all, which is more faithful record of the development of the chicken, the phenotype (what organism looks like) or the genotype (what the DNA looks like)? But this may be a dangerous oversimplification.
JAMIE OLIVER: Just leave it to marinade overnight in the herbs and garlic butter.
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: Who are you calling a chicken?
THE CIA: Who told you about the chicken? Did you see the chicken? There was no chicken. Please step into the car.

FREUD: The fact that you are all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.
FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER: If you saw me coming, you'd cross the road too.
SOL EMPLOYEE: Who cares as long as it's yellow.
