A few minutes ago in a game thread someone mentioned the 60s model Twiggy; the thought of whom prompted me to include her in the thread The Unexplained. The memory of Tiny Tim quickly followed, so I googled images of him to include as well and somehow ended up at this site, which I include here because of the site's owner's obvious honor and explanation...

Happy Birthday, Tiny Tim! | Travalanche

Back when when he was a teenager, my youngest son told me which came first, the chicken or the egg, and it was so convincing that I had to agree with him, despite our tendency back then to disagree on principle.

Nowadays we have chickens. But at some point in the past, they evolved from something else - call it Protochicken.

During that whole evolutionary chain, as avians, they're all egg-layers. So when the first bird past the arbitrary Protochicken/Chicken dividing line came about, it was from an egg.

So the egg came first.
