Turtle Posted December 31, 2005 Author Report Posted December 31, 2005 I have a son who is the other bookend in your annual party - Dec 31st. I am guessing that you are the first person born in your year of emergence, so the time would have been 12:00:00, right at the stroke of the new year, just before "Auld Lang Syne" begins. Happy birthday! Bill Happy New Year Bill & thanks for the greeting! A toast to Brother Bill, Father of a Capricorn, Knower of Songs & New, Well Writ, Hypographian.:lol: :xparty: ___Earlier on Orby chose Midnight, & first there is no restriction on chosing the same guess as another does; if both get it right, both get the prize. However, I made the point to Orby that as I specified the nearest minute, exact midnight is not the nearest minute of the New Year, that it is 12:01. ___With that distinction, I log Bill's first guess as 12:01 AM, the same as I did for Orby. Auld Lang Syne!:xparty: :lol: Quote
Turtle Posted December 31, 2005 Author Report Posted December 31, 2005 Turtle, I have another son born on Jan 3rd. I tried to lure him out by Dec 31st to get the tax deduction, but no such luck. *details of baby baiting ommitted* Anyway... back again to double up on 12:00 Midnight as the birth time. Many happy returns! Bill Another toast to Brother Bill, Father of TWO Capricorn Sons!:xparty: Two votes logged from Brother Bill for 12:01 AM, the first possible full minute time of the New Year.A toast to all Sons Of Fathers Of Two Capricorn Sons. :lol: Quote

TheBigDog Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 Turtle, in all of your posts, a lesson is learned. Your threads weave a tapestry of wisdom. My birthday gift to you is a riddle I recently answered for my eldest son. What came first, the chicken or the egg? The answer will be delivered in the last hour of your birthday. Bill Quote
Queso Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 didnt the chicken just evolve from whatever the hell it was before a chicken, and along with the chicken evolution it just laid eggs as it evolved?and of course, the egg laying evolved from whatever kind of reproduction method the underevolved prechicken had to begin with-which is funnybecause the underevolved prechicken never began in the first place. im looking forward to what you have to say because im sure its witty and logical, yet not as logical as mine above.logical and alluding to illusionary make+believe logic.

My birthday gift to you is a riddle I recently answered for my eldest son. What came first, the chicken or the egg? The answer will be delivered in the last hour of your birthday. Bill Thank you for those kind & humbling words. For any sand grain of wisdom I may have, I have a mountain of errors, poor judement, gaffs, & selfish acts to go with it. By all indications I may expect more of the same. The gift of your riddle then; how very timely. Thank you. Having recently myself cracked open my head & taken to chatting with Humpty Dumpty, Dragons & their ilk, I know the answer now with assurance as before I did not. The Egg came first. :xparty: Quote
TheBigDog Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 didnt the chicken just evolve from whatever the hell it was before a chicken, and along with the chicken evolution it just laid eggs as it evolved?Orb, you are correct about the "Prechicken" I understand on good authority that they were very tasty. A little know fact about the "Prechicken" that may answer another of our timeless puzzles - they always layed their eggs on the other side of the road.The gift of your riddle then; how very timely. Thank you. Having recently myself cracked open my head & taken to chatting with Humpty Dumpty, Dragons & their ilk, I know the answer now with assurance as before I did not. The Egg came first.Give the birthday boy a big peice of cake! Yes the egg came first. An ®evolutionary "Prechicken" layed an egg, and out of that egg came the first chicken. Its mother named him Darwin. Turtle, I hope you like it! Bill Turtle 1 Quote
