Fun:Not Serious Business

Why did the rational chicken cross the road?

 * To avoid multiplying entities beyond what is necessary.
 * To demonstrate its free will, unfettered by any chicken-imposed notions of religious morality.
 * To verify through empirical experience that the other side was cognitively meaningful.
 * To join a change in paradigms.
 * Because it decided to exist.
 * "Wait - how do we actually know that the chicken crossed the road?"
 * To change its frame of reference.
 * To avoid disturbing the crickets.
 * To get out of an infinite recursion.
 * Because the finite gain and infinite loss of this side was negligible when compared to the infinite gain and finite loss of the other side.
 * Because in the end it doesn't matter.
