Because the road was there.

The chicken crossed the road because on the other side were her dreams, her passions, and her love. The side she came from was nice, but she needed more. The other side was scary, unknown, and foreign, but the chicken knew it was the only place where she could be all that she could be. And she heard the food was good, too.

because of the carnivorous human on his side of the road (damn that KFC guy) or The tarmacs always darker on the other side or I have a dream, I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without been made to justify their decision (MLK)

Steve Pavlina - Because you intended them to cross the road. George W Bush - You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect chickens crossing the road to the war on terror. That's what I'm about to say. Did I just say that? |

| Here's one
To get to the "other side"... The chicken was suicidal! He knew that he couldn't cross the road without being hit and decided that this was it. He wanted to go to the "other side"  .

George Bush's Answer: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here.

The fact that you are conerned with whether or not the chicken crossed the road has to do with your underlying sexual feelings...

Philosopher's Response: The question is not "why did the chicken cross the road," but rather, "did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road merely move under the chicken's feet?" Moreover, we must ask ourselves whether the chicken and road did indeed cross, or if our perceptions of this supposed "event" are being influenced by some other entity... Lawyer's Response: According to Section 48124.359(aqd) of Code 841-249-71 in the United States Book of Chicken Law (Vol. XVI), "road-crossing is prohibited by chickens without prior express written permission of the National Chicken Bureau", and thus, the chicken has committed an offense punishable by 2 years in prison and/or a $50,000 fine and/or 10000 hours of community service. Mr. T's Response: I pity da chicken who crosses dat road, SUCKA! Boy Band's Response: Oh, chicken, chicken, why did you cross that road, oh my chicken love, oh baaaaby? Mime's Response: *flaps arms like a chicken and crosses the road, nearly getting hit by a bus* Salesman's Response: Are you lacking knowledge in your life?

George Bush: The chicken crossed the road because it wanted to lay an egg. We thought the egg was a nuclear weapon and bombed the chicken. Now there is no road anymore. That's a great success! Donald Rumsfeld: I don't care why the chicken crossed the road, but it came from Afghanistan, and so I put it into a cage. Tony Blair: My chicken crossed the road because George's chicken did. I hope he knows why. Queen Elizabeth II.: England expects that every chicken will do its duty and cross the road. Prince Harry: I met the chicken in a nightclub and we crossed the road together. That doesn't mean that I will marry it. Mohammed Omar, leader of the Taliban: The chicken may cross the road only in the company of a rooster, and it has to wear a chador at all times. President Ahmadinejad: The chicken has every right to cross the road and lay an egg, because the egg is strictly intended for peaceful purposes, such as the elimination of Israel. Vladimir Putin: Russia is a democracy and the chicken had the right to cross the road. That it was poisoned at the other side is not my fault. Seymour Hersh: The chicken wanted to hide the fact that it had crossed the road, but I found out anyway. Chancellor Angela Merkel: The chicken crossed the road because it feared the evil in the world. I took it in my arms and it was safe. Albert Einstein: We can not know whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved under the chicken. Beethoven: Joy, thou glorious spark of heaven, Chicken of Elysium, We approach fire-drunk, Heavenly One, your road. Your magic reunites What the road sternly divides; All chickens become brothers. Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google: I found that every day 251.483.291 chickens cross the road, but I don't know why. Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia: The chicken crossed the road for seeking knowlegde, but afterwards someone changed it into an elephant. Sigmund Freud: The chicken followed its hidden desire to kill the rooster, its father. Steve Pavlina: The chicken crossed the road because it wanted to donate me $1000, for the highest good of all chickens. Erin Pavlina: The chicken was a witch and crossed the road because it wanted to speak to all its deceased relatives, who were murdered by meat-eaters.
