“But which came first?’
Google knows.
So in a nutshell (or an eggshell, if you like), two birds that weren’t really chickens created a chicken egg, and hence, we have an answer: The egg came first, and then it hatched a chicken. Maybe the question we should be asking is: Which came first, the proto-chicken or the proto-chicken egg?

Natural selection took out the birds that produced cubes and rectangles.

Not even Google has a handle on that one.

For the friend who has everything. “Bet you don’t have one of these!” I can see some catering service using those to make hors d’oeuvres that are exact and coordinated.

Well you know what they say about monkeys and typewriters, so given trillions of years I’m sure a chicken and a vagina can produce Shakespeare.

Only God creates 'ex nihilo'; and in what He first creates is the germ of everything to come later.

Part of their physical shape and appearance must be related to their emotional outlook on things (such as feelings of happiness or sadness).

I have one! They’re tedious and time-consuming to use, but the finished product garners much amazement at parties :-)

It's so they fit these:
Why do I always have to be the smart guy who figures this stuff out?

No matter what shape eggs happened to be, by definition they’d be egg shaped.

Eggs are tapered on the ends so the hen’s vagina doesn’t slam shut.
To: DUMBGRUNT
I’d heard years ago the eggs are shaped as they are to keep the Chicken’s thangy from slamming shut after laying the egg.
