This really doesn't look like an encyclopedia article to me. --Larry Sanger
I agree that it doesn't look like an encyclopedia article - but the content is certainly interesting and perhaps useful so I think it should stay (in one form or another). --User:SteveBaker.
The reason I put it on here was because I believe that it has become firmly incorporated into the English langauage. - Jamesbrowne
Well, the pseudo-problem, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" is a common bit of folk wisdom (or whatever you want to call it). Maybe there should be an article about it. But the current article at The Chicken or the Egg just doesn't look like an encyclopedia article at all--that's my problem. I don't know quite what to do with it. --LMS
There is a joke answer to this famous question: "It's obvious which came first: the rooster." Nsayer 00:05, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Maybe start an entry on Folk conundrum / Folk conundrums and make The Chicken or the Egg a sub-page?
Other examples: -fish or cut bait? -sh-- or get off the pot? -sh--, pi--, or go blind?
If there's a known history to it, I think that would definitely give it a push towards being page-worthy. I don't know that the less common interpretation is worth being mentioned, though. --Belltower
I think this belongs on one of the other Wiki Pages, such as WikiQuote, or if they ever make a childrens version of Wikipedia. It's fun to look over every now and then, but I don't think society would be at a loss if this wasn't published on here. --Ghostalker
