Where does chickens come from?

GuyB · Post by **GuyB** » 13 Nov 2002, 09:52

If 2 take 2 liters of water

nr 1 L is 10 degrees
nr 2 L is 50 degrees

You then pour the two together..

The question is now.. Will the hot water warm up the cold water, or will the cold water cool down the hot water ???

think about it 8D

Take a cup, fill 50% of it with water. Is it now half full or half empty?

i had to do stuff like that in physics in school but now i votet physics and chemical shit off (YEA!)
i would say chickens were much bigger once like trex but some insane scientist thought it was skelleton of a dinosaur.....

Well birds kinda are dinosaurs

Chris Penrose · Post by **Chris Penrose** » 13 Nov 2002, 16:00

Chicken comes from an egg.
GuyB: Both
Abula: I like to think it is half full because you fill the glass. If you empty a full glass 50% it would be half empty.
(These are all my opinions, not facts)

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 13 Nov 2002, 17:19

why does a glass need to be either half full or half empty? it's two valid descpriptions isn't it?

chux · Post by **chux** » 13 Nov 2002, 17:44

ok then.
1. Bartek's chickens - They evolved from bacteria just like the rest of living stuff, read up on Dawrin
2. GuyB's water - Theyd both mix together to make 2 litres of 'about 40 degree' water
3. Abula's glass of water - its said that if you say half full then youre an optimist because you think about what IS there instead of whats not. personally i think you should fill the glass to start off with, and when youve drunk half of it, theres half left. people will think Im a pessimist because of this. really i just want my full glass of water.

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 13 Nov 2002, 17:47

what about the half glass of air? is it pessimistic to think that it's half full of air?

chux · Post by **chux** » 13 Nov 2002, 17:56

I think the key word is 'full'. if youre concentrating on whats there, then it shows you like to think about what youve got rather than what you havent.
personally though, I wouldnt trust this method of optimism testing

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 13 Nov 2002, 18:00

ye i think you're right.

Chris Penrose · Post by **Chris Penrose** » 13 Nov 2002, 18:06

The real question here is, "who cares?"

devin · Post by **devin** » 13 Nov 2002, 22:01

Abula, why did you send us spinning off topic. anywh0, I agree with chuckles, if the glass is half full then you are an optimist (you look at the good side of things) if it is half empty you are a pessimest (you look at bad sides)

I think I am an optimist, I try not to look at the downfalls of certain things.

About the chicken thing, the chicken came from the egg that came from the chicken which came from the egg that the previous chicken layed that was from the chicken before it that also came from the egg that came from the chicken which came from the egg.

That is the answer to all the problems.

Seriously though I blame it on evolution. Through time animals with favorable traits which made them more fit to reproduce depending on their enviroment.

whatever we learned all about this nonsense in biology but of course i forgot most of the biology I learned. So, oh well

devin · Post by **devin** » 13 Nov 2002, 22:24

oh, in that case, I guess they came from forests and shit. I bet they were skinny and could fly around and stuff. Then they became lazy then finally a cave man captured a fat one that could not fly and he figured out they layed eggs to other fat ones. and believe it or not the fat ones could survive better because the caveman and all his friends had chickens soon the skinny flying version of the animal was extinct. Since the chickens were such a good food source every one wanted one. Now all across the world fat chickens rule, living in farms etc.

But there is a species of chicken that still exists today, they are called chicken hawks (AKA turkey vultures)

yes i know im a genius the real truth lies here......(YOU DONT HAVE TO READ ALL OF THIS, BUT IF YOUR BARTEK, YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE THE TIME TOO)

In fact, chickens were perhaps the first species of birds ever domesticated. There are 4 distinct wild fowls in the Indian sub-continent. These are the Red Jungle Fowl, Grey Jungle Fowl, Ceylonese Jungle Fowl and the Java Jungle Fowl. It is generally believed that all our present-day breeds of chickens are descendants of the first of these, the Red Jungle Fowl that was first domesticated as long ago as 3-4000 BC. It appears, by looking at the breeds longest established in the Indian region that the primary purpose for the development of chickens was indeed, cock fighting, with the most famous of the fighting breeds being the Asil (Aseel). It was a bird of Royalty, being kept by princes and kings. There was a rigid caste system with 5 levels, the top belonging to royalty and the lowest belonging to the peasantry. From these beginnings, other breeds began to evolve in other parts of Asia. In the Malaya regions, the leggier Malay Game began to take shape, the Japanese developed the heavy Shamo and Tuzo breeds and in the Indonesian region, the lighter Sumatra Game was born. The Japanese also gave us the word "bantam", believed to originate from the Javanese 'ban tom' which means 'small fowl'.

By 1400 BC, the Chinese had already invented crude incubators to hatch large numbers of chickens and the Egyptians also developed incubators which were capable of hatching thousands of eggs, with men actually living inside to regulate the incubating and hatching conditions. Chickens were reported in Babylon by the year 700 BC, being brought home by soldiers of the Persian armies which had conquered India. Europe saw chickens with the return of the conquering armies of Alexander the Great around 500 BC. The Greeks became fascinated with cock-fighting and the sport was so popular it became a sport of the early Olympic Games. The Romans continued the spread of chickens across the globe. Cock fighting was being practiced in Britain at the time of the invasion by Julius Caesar around 55 BC. The fighting cock was proudly accepted as a symbol of courage and was frequently used on military standards.

During the Middle Ages, important races of chickens were beginning to develop in three widely different regions. These were Mediterranean, Asian Soft feather and Asian Game fowls. Each had specific characteristics depending on the requirements of the area. Mediterranean fowls seldom go broody, lay large numbers of pure white eggs, have white ear lobes and large combs. Breeds such as Leghorns, Minorcas and Spanish descended from these. The Asian Soft feather fowls developed in the mountainous regions of Asia and were characterised by gigantic size, looser and softer feathers and feathered legs. From these came the Langshans, Brahmas and Cochin breeds. The Asian Game fowls were hard and tight in feather, very aggressive, laid brown eggs and went broody easily.

Columbus carried fowls to the New World where they were eagerly taken by the various Indians and further evolved to the conditions. The greatest period of chicken breeding came during the 1800's and was spurred by three major events. The theory of selective breeding, put forward by Robert Blakewell, the works of Charles Darwin which brought forward the theory of genetic transmission and the fashion of the Victorian era where it became trendy to create new varieties of animals. This was known as "The Golden Age of Pure Breed Poultry". In 1865, the Poultry Club of Great Britain drew up the World's first Standards of Excellence, due to the ever-increasing number of breeds that were springing forth. Exhibition poultry became enormously popular and many famous names emerged during this period. Sir John Sebright (originator of the Sebright bantam), William Tegetmeier (editor of the first Standard of Excellence in Exhibition Poultry), William Cook (originator of the Orpington breed) and Lewis Wright (Brahma breeder and author of The Illustrated Book of Poultry, which has become a classic tome on poultry).

By crossing the various breeds available, new breeds of fowls were developed. Most of these are still popular today and can be grouped according to area. English breeds have white skin and lay brown eggs, American breeds have yellow skin and legs while European breeds lay brown eggs. Breeds evolved according to local preferences and chicken farming became more specialised and scientific. Chickens were used to prove Mendel's theories by William Bateson and Punnett. Gigantic leaps in food production were made during the First World War by applying poultry genetics and by the end of the Second World War, chicken production was a multi-million dollar industry.

All during this time, other varieties of domestic fowls were being developed as well, such as guineas, ducks, geese and turkeys, but that's another story...

I hope that answers your question

there are 8 identical-looking candelsticks. 7 of them weigh exactly as much, one is slightly lighter. ur job is to detect which one of the sticks is different. you have a scale (like one wherer you put stuff on the other side and stuff on the other and check whether they weigh as much). how many measurements do you need to absolutely identify the light candlestick?
(note: you can put several candelsticks to the scale at same time)

or something along those lines.

and I dont really know what I was talking about in my last post; I wrote the first paragraph and the really big part I just copied and pasted

Two. Even with 9 candlesticks you could do it with two measurements.

And how about this then:

When it rains, mom goes to work by bus.
One day, mom goes to work by bus. Is it raining then?

This isn't really a hard trick question involving math, physics or anything like that. It's just a test of your way of thinking. Some ppl know the right answer at the moment they read the question, some have hard time understanding even if you try to explain it to them.

it says than when it rains she goes by bus. it doesn't say she doesn't go with bus when it doesn't rain. => it possibly rains, but it's not certain. for her to go by bus only when it's raining would the sentence need "Only when it rains, does mom go to work by bus"

Answer:
it is unknown.

Chris Penrose · Post by **Chris Penrose** » 16 Nov 2002, 13:35

I know a few riddles.
You've probably heard this one:

How far can you walk into a forest?

chux · Post by **chux** » 16 Nov 2002, 15:25

You can only walk half way into a forest, after that youd be walking out.
Im guessing she would take a bus, why woul dshe walk some days and not others? I guess if its nice weather, it could be nice to walk...she'd probably take the bus on at least one non-rainy day
Answer: Yeah, why not

cyre · Post by **cyre** » 16 Nov 2002, 18:10

I'm sorry for being off-topic like this and encouraging others to be too, but i think devin has answered BarTeks's question so thoroughly, that at least i don't have anything to add.

(perhaps a new thread for these questions should be added.... )

So the right answer to that mom question was: Maybe it rains, maybe not.

It only said that mom goest to work by bus WHEN IT RAINS. For all we know, she might go by bus everyday.

Ok then another, which is kinda funny imo.

A man is building a house. Looking from above the house is shaped like a square. Every side of the house is facing south. The man is outside, checking the house and feeling proud of his work. Suddenly a hungry bear appears only 10 meters from the man. What color is the bear?

There are no bears in the North Pole so the color is .. hm .. no color at all..?

Antz · Post by **Antz** » 16 Nov 2002, 18:54

if a bear appears from out of thin air like that, and doesn't even exist, it must be hallusinated. aren't hallusinations really colorful?
answer: look at oil and c the whole spectrum of colours. that color.

also i think it has a third eye or at least 2feet long teeth.

Chickens came from my anus in the beginning so that's it... U know pidgeaons lived on tall mountains. Then mankind made blocks of flat (or whatever they're called) and destroyed the mountain vegetation and pidgeons had to leave. Then they found blocks of flat and have lived there for ages
