Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability.

Thomas de Torquemada: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find out.

Douglas Adams: Forty-two.

Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road.

Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

Salvador Dali: The Fish.

Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees.

Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.
