A Question for the Ages

.

Dear Readers: Since we're in quiz mode...

We've all heard that old saying:

"What came first, the chicken or the egg?"

So... I ask you now, which comes first...
Which one must it be?




"The chicken"...

 or "the egg"?

Hint: Think outside the box.

So you're smarter than a 5th grader are you?

Dear Readers:
The Editor tossed and turned all last night pondering the following paradox:

1. The statement below is true.
2. The statement above is false.

So which is it? Heeeelp!!

The Editor is happy to report that his old Facebook friend Ule Notknow has correctly answered the question. Well done Ule!
