It would have been funnier if I could strike out the text.

Oh, now see, I was just trying to play on the Wikipedia joke by editing your post. I didn't mean to make a serious grammar change.

Although, I suppose that might be exactly the kind of edit that happens most often. B-)

Well why did the chicken cross the mobius strip?

To get to the same side.

You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross the road before you believe it?

John Edward:
They’re showing me feathers. Wings. A beak. Do you know an eagle?

A hawk?

A turkey?

A sparrow?

A duck?

A bird of some kind?
Caller: I know a chicken

Edward: You know a chicken that crossed? I thought so because they’re showing me a plate of scrambled eggs.

Larry King: Wow! That’s amazing! How does he do it?

Kansas Board of Education:

An unknown supernatural entity made the chicken cross the road at an unknown time in an unknown way for an unknown reason. Intelligent Crossing is a scientific term.

The concern isn't why the chicken crossed the road. It's the fact that the chicken died, because the road was called "Chuck Norris St." Nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives.

Another answer:

He didn't cross the road. Because he can't hold a pen, or anything he can use to draw an "X".

the chicken crossed the road because it noticed i was eating one of its cousins, in a delicous homemade sandwhich. This angered the chicken. I could see it in its eyes. I could tell from that moment, it was going to cause trouble. I warned the chicken to go home and not to cross the road but the chicken was having none of it. The chicken crossed the road slowly and sinisterly with evil intent. Chickens have no right crossing human roads, built for humans, by humans, using human resourses that other humans put their blood and sweat into gathering materials for. Someone should really put up a sign 'this road is not for chickens'......... the chicken had to go.

Wink The chicken
You see; The chicken was a nosey and curious chicken. There were a group of chickens congregating on the other side of the road and he just had to know what the heck was going so the chicken crossed the road only to mind other peoples buisness...........

Because the chicken's inner beliefs were a vibrational match to it being on the other side of the road.
