How Did The Chicken Cross The Road?
It depends on the type of chicken.
- NT Chicken
 -  Will cross the road in June. No, August. September for sure.
 - OS/2 Chicken
 -  It crossed the road years ago, but who wants a big, blue, slow
chicken?
 - Windows 95 Chicken
 -  You see differently colored feathers while it crosses, but
cook it and it still tastes like ... chicken.
 - Microsoft Chicken
 -  It's already on both sides of the road. And it just bought
the road.
 - Amiga Chicken
 -  There are multiple chickens, crossing many roads at the same
time, but they were, unfortunately, marketed as frogs.
 - OOP Chicken
 -  It doesn't need to cross the road, it just sends a message.
 - Assembler Chicken
 -  First it builds the road ...
 - C Chicken
 -  It crosses the road without looking both ways.
 - C++ Chicken
 -  The chicken wouldn't have to cross the road, you'd simply refer to
him on the other side.
 - VB Chicken
 -  USHighways!TheRoad.cross(aChicken)
 - Delphi Chicken
 -  The chicken is dragged across the road and dropped on the other
side.
 - Java Chicken
 -  If your road needs to be crossed by a chicken, the server will
download one to the other side. (Of course, this is a chicklet.)
 - Web Chicken
 -  Jumps out onto the road, turns right and just keeps on running.
 - Gopher Chicken
 -  Tried to run but got flattened by the Web chicken.
 - Newton Chicken
 -  Can't cluck, can't fly and can't lay eggs, but you can carry it
across the road in your pocket!
 - Cray Chicken
 -  Crosses faster than any other chicken, but if you don't dip it in
liquid nitrogen first, it arrives on the other side fully cooked.
 - Quantum Logic Chicken
 -  The chicken is distributed probabilistically on all
sides of the road until you observe it on the side of your choice.
 - Lotus Chicken
 -  Don't you dare try to cross the road the same way we do!
 - Macintosh Chicken
 -  No reasonable chicken owner would want a chicken to cross
the road; so there's no way to tell it to.
 - COBOL Chicken
