Re: Why did the chicken cross the road?

Without no rational explanation or whatsoever, the chicken crosses the road because he has the will to do so. They do not think of what the consequences or what might happen in crossing the road. They do not think of the events that might take place once they cross the road. They just crossed the road because they don’t have any clues to what is beyond out there.

Scientifically, the chicken will always cross the road because before that road was there, the chicken claimed that territory for itself. It never gives it up. Same with dear.

We all know that animals and birds survived all through these years because of their instincts. They are born with instincts to defend and to escape from dangers. But in all this they still have one thing that is common to us humans, a trait called curiosity. That is why the chicken crosses the road because he is curious with what the road is all about and why it is there.

Sometimes, we do something because we need to do it, the chicken didn’t actually have any rational reason why he crossed the road, its just his animal instinct to do so, perhaps a safer haven a greener pasture or a mate ^^,
