Why
did the chicken cross the road?
Why do chickens cross roads?
The most comprehensive listing on the Web (or so it
should be).
 |
|
Darth Vader (Star Wars):
- Because it could not resist the power of the Dark Side.
- Chicken? So! You have a pet chicken! Obi-Wan was wise to hide it across the street. Now his failure is complete! If you will not cross to the Dark Side of the road, then perhaps IT will!
- The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was a chick... Now, I am the rooster!
- The force is strong in you young chicken, but you aren't a rooster yet. Come to the dark side of the road and I will complete your training.
- If you come across, together we can destroy the rooster and rule the entire coop.
- It can cross, but it cannot escape its DESTINY. Join me on the dark side of the road! Do not underestimate the power of the road!
The Vedas:
- It was its karma.
General Veers (Star Wars):
- The generator will be down in moments... you may begin egg-laying!
Vengaboys:
- The chicken would like to party from New York to San Francisco.
Dr. Peter Venkman:
- This chick is "Toast".
Ace Ventura:
- That's none of your damn business and I'll thank you to stay out of my personal affairs.
Giuseppe Verdi:
- Ever free shall she still hasten madly on from pleasure to pleasure.
- La pollo mobile.
V'Ger (Star Trek):
- To join with the Creator.
Vir (Babylon 5):
- "I warned the chicken not to cross the road."
Virgil:
- Arms and the chicken I sing, who first from the side of the road. To the other side driven by fate, came at last to the foot of the "don't walk" sign...
The Way of Virtue:
- The wise chicken desires to be forgotten, but it is remembered. It desires to be free of life, but retains it. It desires nothing for itself, but it finds everything it wants on the other side of the road.
Alessandro Volta:
- There was a potential difference in her future on the other side.
Voltaire:
- I don't believe the chicken should cross the road, but I'll defend to the death his right to do so.
- Chickens have these advantages over man: they have no theologians to instruct them, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills.
Kurt Vonnegut:
- And so it goes -- to the other side.
Peter De Vries:
- If you want a final opinion on the mystery of the chicken crossing the road and all that, I can give it to you in a nutshell. Why the chicken crossed the road is like a safe to which there is a combination. But the combination is locked up in the safe.
