Why did the Chicken Cross the Road?

SARAH PALIN: Before it got to the other side, I shot the chicken, cleaned and dressed it, and had chicken burgers for lunch.


BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change!


JOHN MC CAIN: My friends that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.


HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.


GEORGE W. BUSH: 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 against us, or for us.
There is no middle ground here.


DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?


COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.


BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken. What is your definition of chicken? What is your definition of "cross the road?"


AL GORE: I invented the chicken.


JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now and
will remain against it.


AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.


DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken doesn't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.


OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls,
which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.


ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed access to the other side of the road.


NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.


PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.


DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.


ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.


GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.


ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.


ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?


COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?

Lol... good times...

Bleh...

I'm so like a loose end now... Walking around the house... Staring blankly out the window, and wished that time would zoom by like a hummingbird on speed... Haha... That's what I wish for... But you know what, of all things time has to do to me, it has to slow to an exceptionally slow rate its absurd thinking about it... Do you know how mush I have to suffer??? Exams are coming up tomorrow and all I want to do is get it over and done with... Why am I not studying? I bet thats going round and around and around in your heads now... Well, honestly, i don't know... I feel like I've done the best I can over the past week... I should know everything that I need to know for biology tomorrow... I'm just worried that when the time comes I won't be able to extract the knowledge I need from this head of mine... It has a reputation of failing on me when I require it the most... What a pain... I'm doing papers on Animals and Plants Behaviour, Gene Expression, Evolution, and Human Evolution... Its a real mess really, the only one I'm really good at is the ANPB paper... And the rest are bullocks... I can toss them down the drain for all I care... But no.... My ego is keeping me afloat... This little thing in my head that goes "YOU SHALL NOT FAIL! YOU SHALL NOT FAIL!" It's so annoying, oh well... There must be like a gene in asian people that enables us to have this ego... One day, I'm gonna find it and extract it out of me... Haha... Ah well...

Here are the humans before us:
1. Australopithecus Afarensis
Existed : 3.9 - 3.0 mya
Brain size: 375-550 cc

2. Australopithecus aficanus
Existed : 3.0-2.0 mya
Brain size : 420-500cc

3. Paranthropus boisei
Existed : 2.1-1.1 mya
Brain size : 500-545cc

4. Paranthropus robustus
Existed : 2.0-1.5 mya
Brain size : 530 cc

5. Homo habilis
Existed : 2.4-1.5mya
Brain size : 500-800cc

6. Homo Ergaster
Existed : 1.8-1.4 mya
Brain Size : 850-1000cc

7. Homo erectus
Existed : 1 mya - 300000 years ago
Brain size : 1000-1250cc

8. Homo heidelbergensis
Existed : 300000 - ? years ago
Brain size : 1100-1400cc

9. Homo neanderthalensis
Existed : 230000-28000 years ago
Brain size : 1450 cc

10. Homo Sapiens (that's us!)
Existed : from 160000 years ago till now
Brain size : 1350 cc

Noticed that the brains increased over time, this is due to the fact that they are bipedal... Thus resulting in the ability to perform manipulative actions with their free hands... This might cause the brain to increase... Haha...

Oh well... better get back to studying before I seriously decide I want to fail everything...
