    Considering all the fan mail I got for my last three Chicken Reasons,
    here are some more (and yes, I have authored all the ones I've posted
    myself)...

    French President Jaques Chirac:
    "While we have great sympathies for the poor American chickens who were
    so heinously fried on September the 11th, we cannot condone the
    crossing of the road between Kuwait and Iraq by armored American
    chickens. We will oppose with all of our diplomatic power any
    preemptive and unilateral crossing of the road in the UN. We do not
    believe that Iraqi chickens of mass destruction are crossing the road
    in contravention of 17 UN resolutions, nor do we believe that
    Resolution 1441 required the use of farce if the Iraqis did not
    completely and proactively cooperate with UN Chicken Inspectors in
    determining if Iraqi chickens of mass destruction have crossed the road
    in any way.
    We think that inspectors need more time, given that the few attempted
    road crossings have been stopped successfully, perhaps 6 more months,
    when it will be far to hot for American Chickens to cross the road.
    Even then, we will oppose the use of farce by American Chickens to
    destroy Iraqi road crossing chickens.
    We believe that the UN should control how Iraqi Chicken Coop
    reconstruction contracts are awarded."

    German Chancellor Schroeder:
    "No, my opposition to use of American chickens against Iraqi chickens
    of mass destruction has absolutely nothing to do with my needing to get
    reelected. We Germans know far better than most anyone on earth, given
    that we are the cause of the two World Road Crossings of the 20th
    century, that caused the deaths of many millions of chickens as well as
    the deaths of millions of innocent motorists, how horrible Road
    Crossings are.
    We know the BirdBaathists, for it was founded by our Nazis, and we knew
    the Nazis well, and the BirdBaathists are no Nazis.
    We believe that the UN should control how Iraqi Chicken Coop
    reconstruction contracts are awarded."

    Russian President Putin:
    "We are not selling Night Vision Chickens to Iraq, nor are we selling
    Anti-tank Chickens developed since the first Gulf War to Iraq. We are
    not selling Chicken Positioning System (CPS) jammers to Iraq, nor were
    our retired military chickens in Bagdad as few as two weeks before the
    war.
    We think that the world should be made safe for neo-stalinistic former
    leaders of national secret police agencies, be their names Hussein or
    Putin. We object to the targeting of Leadership Chickens with JDAC
    (Joint Direct Attack Chickens) weapons, for someone may get the same
    idea with my government.
    We believe that the UN should control how Iraqi Chicken Coop
    reconstruction contracts are awarded."

    Osama bin Chicken:
    "The evil infidel Chickens of the imperialist US must be opposed by all
    good devout muslim chickens. While Saddam Hussein is himself an
    infidel, his people are muslims and the invasion of Iraqi territory by
    the occupying armies of American Chickens and the lapdog British and
    Zionist pig allies is a crime agains muslim chickens everywhere. It is
    the duty of all good muslim chickens to go and fight the infidel in
    Iraq."

    Al Jazeera:
    "No those Iraqi chickens are not cheering as they are crossing the road
    to tear down those statues of Saddam. "We love Saddam" one Iraqi says,
    as he slaps Saddam's head with the soles of his shoes.
    That American flag wrapped around Saddam's head is not the same flag
    flying at the Pentagon on September 11th, it is simply a sign that the
    US is an imperialist occupying power, intent on making Iraqi chickens
    cross the road in entirely unseemly and unmuslim ways."

    Now that that is out of my system, here are some more extropic ones:

    Eliezer Yudkowski:
    The Singularity Institute for Artificial Chickens has released a new
    programming language to be used for programming artificial chickens to
    cross the road to sentience. Cluck 1.0 is an Empatho-Graphic Googling
    language (EGG) meant to enable the average Artificial Chicken seed
    kernel (Conciousness Oriented Recognition Nooite, CORN for short) to
    grow a CHICK, or Compu-Hermetic Intelligent Chicken Kernel into a fully
    emergent phenomenon, capable of crossing roads toward sentient
    awareness. Eventually, the Artificial Chicken will breed an entire
    Coop, capable of its own production of EGG languages of the second and
    following self-programming generations, triggering a Singularity.

    David Freidman:
    It is entirely the chicken's right to cross roads as it sees fit, and
    engage in road crossing contracts with any RCA (Road Crossing Agency)
    it sees fit. I will note that in medieval Iceland, chickens crossed
    roads with complete anarcho-capitalistic liberty. Their only government
    was the All Chicken, that anyone could participate in, and
    disagreements were decided by a preisthood class of road crossing
    guards.

    Anders Sandberg:
    I've developed a new RPG called TurboChicken, where one can game road
    crossing chickens in any environment. I've determined that in any given
    Chicken Coop Dillemma, there are three types of chickens: those who lay
    eggs, those who peck others eggs and those who both lay their own eggs
    and peck others eggs. Those who peck and lay tend to be most likely to
    cross the road.

    Richard Feynman:
    It is theoretically possible for chickens to cross the road in both
    directions. Road Crossing Event Diagrams can be interpreted as going
    right to left, or left to right, backward or forward in time. When a
    chicken crosses the road, it does not just pick the best possible route
    to cross the road, it crosses the road in every possible way in a
    virtual quantum state. The observer only sees the chicken crossing one
    way because that way is the best way, thus collapsing the probability
    function. This is the heart of the Many Chickens Interpretation of
    Quantum Dynamics....

    Amara Graps:
    Our work here at the Chicken Dust Dynamics Group involves the use of
    probes to analyse the dust left by chickens crossing the road. In my
    work, I have found use of wavelet mathematics to describe Chicken Dust
    dynamics, which behaves significantly different from normal dust. While
    many in the field call me a Dust Bunny, I prefer the label Dusty Chick...
