if a rooster lays an egg on a roof top which way would the egg fall left or right?

Which way is the rooster facing? Left or right.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n(The rooster is actually an crossdressing hen.)

Chickens do not have sex like humans do. The egg is ferlized when the rooster sits on it and deposits the semen on the egg.

Your question is similar to "does a woman need a man around to ovulate?" Hens lay eggs regularly. The rooster's function is to fertilize the eggs. So roosters are rarely around in commercial egg farms, because fertilized eggs are generally not desired.

The forces are gravity down  and air drag up.\nIf you want your egg to land softly, one way is to increase its coefficient of drag -- give it a parachute.

the chicken evolved from some lower form and laid an egg

The chicken or the egg is a reference to the causality dilemma which arises from the expression "which came first, the chicken or the egg?". When used in reference to difficult problems, a chicken and egg problem is similar to a Catch 22 situation where something cannot happen until a second thing does, and the second thing cannot happen until the first does. For example, a person might have trouble finding a job without work experience, but to get work experience he/she must get a job.\n\nThe earliest reference to the dilemma is found in Plutarch's Moralia, in the books titled "Table Talk," in a series of arguments based on questions posed in a symposium. Under the section entitled, "Whether the hen or the egg came first," the discussion is introduced in such a way as to suggest that the origin of the dilemma was even older:\n\n"...the problem about the egg and the hen, which of them came first, was dragged into our talk, a difficult problem which gives investigators much trouble. And Sulla my comrade said that with a small problem, as with a tool, we were rocking loose a great and heavy one, that of the creation of the world..." \nVarious answers have been formulated in response to the question, many of them humourous\nAssuming a chicken egg\nIn this case, the egg is assumed to be a chicken's egg. This is an obvious assumption since the question itself implies a link between the two.\n\nIf one assumes the egg to be a chicken egg then one must define what a chicken egg is:\n\nIf: A chicken egg will hatch a chicken \nThen a bypass is allowed: An animal that was not a chicken laid the chicken egg which contained the first chicken. In this case the egg came first.\n\nIf: A chicken egg is the egg that a chicken lays \nThen a bypass is allowed: A chicken (that hatched from a non-chicken egg) laid an egg (a chicken egg). In this case the chicken came first.\n\nIf: A chicken egg will hatch a chicken and A chicken egg is the egg that a chicken lays. \nThen there may be an error of definition. If the definition of "chicken" used does not refer to "chicken eggs", then the chicken must come first, because without chickens there cannot be any chicken eggs.\nEvolutionary chicken\nIn this case, the egg is not assumed to be a chicken egg. In effect this changes the question to: "Which came first, a chicken or any egg".\n\nFrom a pseudo science point of view this question can be answered quite easily. The egg came first because any female sex cell is called an egg.\n\nIf the egg is defined structurally as the hard shelled thing, and the chicken a feather covered animal, the answer is still simple. Evolutionary scientists believe the first hard shell egg was the amniotic egg laid around 300 million years ago, and was laid by the animal who was the link between amphibians and reptiles. One of the first dinosaurs that we know had feathers was the Archaeopteryx, and came much later. Modern birds would not arise until 150 million years ago, descending from theropod dinosaurs.\n\nIn this case, the first chicken must have been the mutated offspring of a proto-chicken that laid the egg containing the first true chicken. In any case, this creature hatched from a recognizable egg. After all, the question is purposefully ambiguous -- it is not, "Which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?"\n\nThe crux of the matter is how to biologically define 'a chicken'. What level of genetic similarity or structural similarity determine whether an organism is a chicken? One can only define what was the first chicken after the fact, thus any definition of the first chicken becomes arbitrary. The question 'which came first?' ignores the complicated reality of speciation.\n\nAccording to the principles of speciation, neither the chicken nor the egg came first, because speciation does not occur in simple, obvious units. In fact, evolution is about a slow transi

both. if you didn't have the chicken, how do you get the egg?

Biblically it would be the chicken as created by God, then it layed eggs...  If you  dont believe in God...  Well... your guess is as good as mine.

In evolutionary terms, a chicken was first hatched from an egg of a slightly different animal.  Therefore, the egg came first.

They egg did. chickens aren't the only one to lay eggs

Roosters don't lay eggs = P

who come first chicken or egg ? ^_^

nothing, its just that its hatched by different kinds of chickens. that is it.thanks for the points!

The egg, because chickens are the result of evolution, so the egg is the correct answer

Apparently the chicken came first.  Then the eggs.  According to Genesis anyway.

it depends on if you have a chicken or not..if you do have a chicken already then the egg comes first if you dont have a chicken..then the chicken must come first.

An egg is pretty aerodynamic, so we can neglect friction. Thus, a falling object satisfies the equation\n\ns(t) = -0.5*g*t^2+v0*t+s0\n\nwhere g is 9.82 m/s^2, v0 is the start velocity (in this case, 0) and s0 is the start height (in this case, 3 metres).\n\nSo, letting s(t)=0 and solving for t, we get\n\n0 = -0.5*g*t^2 + 3\n\nt = sqrt(6/g) = 0.78 seconds.
