I ahve a friend who says its like that in Phoenix. But that isn't planned for pedestrians, is it? This bunch parrot about the safest route, and that we have been given a footpath which is safe, as if we should be grateful, totally disregarding the very basic psychology of wanting to follow a direct route. What now worries me is that by building fences to prevent people following a route at least as safe as theirs, people are now taking dangerous risks, pushing pushchairs across several lanes, leaping fences adjacent to traffic, walking along the roads and so on, determined to follow their choice. Bert's Mobius path best approximates the official route! I have a plan to win by ridicule.

" so much depends upon a red wheelbarrow, glazed with rainwater, beside the white chickens." ( I believe that THIS is the answer to that age-old question....and William Carlos Williams obviously agrees!!!Teller

Why did the chicken cross the road? 1: That X was all he could learn how to write. 2: Because it was there. 3: The cute chicks were all on the other side (Everything worthwhile is always where you aren't, even dumb chickens know that much).

DOUGR: Well that's one person's interpretation of the chicken's perapatetic activity. I fully believe the chicken never did cross the road, but everybody has to decide for himself and I'll be damned if I'll point you to any websites that speak to the issue; look it up yourself.

MATT_R: I don't have time to think about chickens crossing the road. Hell, I've got a final in photographic navel-gazing in three days and I have to take photos of manhole covers and lobotomy scars, not chickens crossing roads. But here's the words to an Oasis song about chickens crossing roads: [snip]

PRAISE: Glory to Jesus for road-crossing chickens! My husband, Hardi, can't find time to post here, but he recently preached a sermon about chickens. If anybody wants to talk to me about chickens, PM me or email me at [e-mail].

GUEST: You f***ing idiots! You think you're so f***ing smart because you can speculate about stupid chickens. I used to have an account here but all this f****ing sh*t about stupid chickens made me delete it. F*** off, all of you!

HARPGIRL: I never want to see a thread about chickens here again. This is my opinion and my meta-statement.

MOUSETHIEF: Here's a song I just wrote about chickens to a non-folk tune you all probably know, aren't I clever?

KENDALL: I once lent my chicken to Stan Rogers, but he made some smartasse crack about it resembling my date that night. I wanted to punch him, but I had was doing a recording of Mrs.Ravoon the next day for Folk Legacy.

RICK FIELDING: Okay, mudcatters, here's four trivia questions about chickens crossing roads. I'll post the answers this afternoon.

1. Which "hillbilly" artist first recorded the song about the chicken crossing the road?

2. Who sold the most copies of a recording of "Road Crossing Blues" before 1972?

3. On what album was Dylan's "Talking Chicken Blues"?

4. Which mudcatter wrote "The Chicken Crossed The Road"?

ME1: The chicken was hopeful that the sky wasn't falling over there.

ME2: That where the cock was, and she needed some egg fertilizer.
