chicken or egg?

Well man aren't I glad this mystery is solved, now we can move on with our lives :p

Chicken and egg debate unscrambled

"It's a question that has baffled scientists, academics and pub bores through the ages: What came first, the chicken or the egg?

Now a team made up of a geneticist, philosopher and chicken farmer claim to have found an answer. It was the egg."

Actually I think this doesnt quite address the real question, ie, which can first, the egg or the first egg-laying creature?
