SHAKESPEARE Alas, poor chicken, I knew him well.

CAMUS The chicken possesses existential freedom to go or to stay. It chose to go. You have no right to question why it did so.

BASHO comments only with this haiku:

Busy little white chicken,
Looks right, looks left...
Cherry blossom time?

DARWIN The chicken was seeking an environment more suited to its genetic inheritance.

ASIMOV The chicken was genetically programmed to have the potential to meet this challenge. That's why he decided to start his adventure. Anyway, it's not important that the chicken went, since Hari Seldon could have predicted this 1,000 years ago by a systematic application of mathematics to history.

MANDELBROT The chicken's actions are random, yet patterned.

GOeDEL The rules under which the chicken made its decision cannot be fully understood unless one is removed from the whole question of Going & Coming & The Road. One must first be able to observe the question from outside the principles of this problem set, or the rules and motives of the chicken will never be understood.

JESUS Forgive the chicken this trespass, for he knows not what he does.

BUDDHA The chicken is overly concerned with the present. The questioner is overly concerned with the transient.

OCCAM The simplest answer that fits all the facts of the chicken's situation must be true.
