    H.P. Lovecraft:

            "The chicken crossed the road to its infinite
    regret. The most merciful thing in the world...is the
    inability of the chicken mind to correlate all its
    contents. Chickens live on a placid island of ignorance in
    the midst of black roads of infinity, and chickens were
    not meant to voyage far."

    George Zebrowski:

            "The chicken crossed the road to escape the
    division of chickenkind into macroworlders and
    planet-dwellers."

    My take:

            "The chicken crossed the road to achieve boundless
    expansion, either as reaching the far side of the road, or
    as roadkill."
