"According to You: what came first, the de-cow or the egg (perhaps à la Coque)?"

[NOTE: this present de-page, as well as all those pertaining to the improbable Five Questions, is an initiative (not curated by the Anicagis) EXCLUSIVE and ABSOLUTE of the mono-neuronic mind of the wreck writer; the courteous Editors and the entire DeBaserico Staff have nothing to do with it.]

I would therefore move on to de-weighing the [+ and/or -] interesting responses provided by the (immense/ly) kind De-Users (from A to ZETA):

Monsieur A.M. states: "Regarding the MUcca, I will tell you a very interesting and indeed funny anecdote. One day, the MUcca said to the MUkkino, "MUkkino, do not drink the bucket of milk on the table or I'll get mad," and the MUkkino: "yes, mom MUcca, I won't drink it." Then the mom MUcca goes to the city (note that the fact is absolutely hypo-thetic), does her errands, and comes back home late in the evening. She opens the front door. Enters. Opens the kitchen door. Enters. Looks on the table. And there is the bucket of milk. EMPTY. So the MUcca, visibly upset, goes looking for the MUkkino throughout the house, shouting, "MUkkino! Did you drink the bucket of milk?" and the MUkkino: "No!". And yet it was him. I think I will make an editorial about it or at least send it to every trustworthy Debaserian, with Your support as well as backing. Now, as You have surely noticed, there is no mention of a De-cow, but of a MUcka, which makes us cleverly think that it (the MUcka) is an ancestor of the De-Cow. And since the egg was born as an egg and has always been known as "egg," not having evolved, it presupposes either a) a fairly perfect structure that has guaranteed it almost perpetual survival (which is quite unrealistic given the fragility of the eggshell) or b) a rather recent if not contemporary origin. So the answer for me is the De-Cow."

Mister A_d asserts: "I will be methodical: for me, the egg has existed since a few months after August 1975, which is when I was born; the egg à la coque has existed much later, and still only as an abstract concept, since we don't use it at my home; the de-cow, more or less since 2003, also as a metaphysical idea, indeed, as a kind of semi-deity; being a linear progression, I suppose I will soon deify the next thing I see but can't touch: I will be happy to offer a family member in sacrifice - in the absence of children, maybe a cousin, always broth..."

Madame B. says: "The De-MUcca comes first."

Mr. B. pronounces: "The egg first, as it is a primordial symbol."

Garçon B. declared: "The role of you editors. Editors should be people who check what they pass, correcting errors, and other nice little things like that. Now, without questioning your good faith, this happens one time in 10, if not less. As already mentioned above, immaculate reviews alternate with unspecified horrors. In my opinion, you should check more, correct more, make some reviews more dignified which, without your precious intervention, would not be. Sometimes (and this, sorry, but I do not accept it) you see reviews full of foul language, if not even (!) with some blasphemy in between. You may be as non-believing as you like, peace and love to everyone, and let's all be happy, but I have a hard time accepting this. I have my morality, however thin, Christian, and therefore I would only ask that it be respected a little more. This, not only in the reviews, but in all the comments that follow and in the respective discussions, filled with anti-clericalism theories that are revolting populism from a very low neighborhood, a word every twelve curses, racism galore as if it were raining candies. You should control much more, because DeBaser may be a carefree site, but from carefree to foolish there is a lot of water under the bridge. And if someone, for extreme hypothetical cases, was offended to such an extent as to file a complaint against the one who insulted them or, worse, against someone who labeled an entire "category" as unhealthy ("terrone", Jews, blacks)? You would end up in trouble: and so this is advice that I also give for yourselves. "

Master C.H. muttered: "Surely the De-Cow, never been (as human beings) eggs, at most we were lemurs (or something similar), unless you want to trace everything back to the primordial broth, but even there, I think, the egg wasn't...."

The distinguished C.D.C.U. expressed: "For the evolutionary theory I would say the egg".

Mademoiselle C. wrote: "it could be that I opened the email at night, it could be that I had a retinal detachment under treatment, it could be whatever... but I can't do it..."

Dr. D.G. certified: "The issue is easily solved. Imagining as is customary to place at the origin of every subject the absolute, which is the source of being, is a mistake that easily leads to a paradox. Examples of such grossness are the question you posed or the eternal dilemma about the qualification of the subject in relation to the object. The solution is rather simple: let's imagine for a moment that this absolute perfection from which we think things originate is not precisely a beginning but a result. Let's imagine the being of things in time as we know them simply a moment, a stage in the journey that being takes before rejoining with the all-absolute-harmony. It will then be easy to determine the egg and the hen not as two distinct phenomena competing for an ontological primacy of difficult determination but as two coextensive moments (in quality and quantity) of being in its path of self-affirmation and self-determination. The end (and principle) of this path is the one and perfect absolute in which the being finds itself and from which the self unfolds. In this regard, I renew the invitation to delve into the work of Hegel (Phenomenology of Spirit) as well as the work of Giordano Bruno (Italian dialogues: On the Infinite in particular).."

Lord D.I.A. communicated: "I realize it's not your fault; my "protest" is only directed towards those, within the site, on the upper levels, who do nothing or don't seem to want to do anything to address the (big) problems of a great site."

Compare E.C. expressed outwardly: "neither of the two, because the cow doesn't lay eggs :-D."

Neighbor E.T.D. erupted: "Eh... I know you're a naughty one... the egg can't come by itself... eh... cheeky double entendre enthusiast..."

Mammy F. paternalized: "I just returned from vacation where I also managed to fit in a move and at the moment I have a 7-hour drive ahead, of course driving solo with my little car: I am shattered and I didn't understand a thing."

Sir F. declared frankly: "Both came first".

A second Sir F. condemned: "Neither, but the hen.."

An underdeveloped country supporter Mister F. wheezed: "The hen"

Senor G.U.K narrated: "The cow came first and then the egg. But it was an invisible cow. Therefore, the laying of the cow's egg lacked the most important and fundamental thing for him at the moment of conception. What was rightfully his due in his life: imprinting. He therefore convinced himself that the anus came first. And he invented religion."

G_ Youth G. expressed bluntly: "Sorry but I answered seriously and you respond with nonsense?""

The gowned G.W. appealed: "As for "the money", if there's any leftover you can safely deposit it into Judge Woodcock's account, who surely won't mind"

The entire Union through G.E. picketed: "Now, dear comrade and disciple Wreck, there is no one who believes that such a will can be carried out without the help of a supreme being that makes us reconnect to love and respect for thy neighbor.."

The little note H. issued: "HUH???"

The horse rider H. rode: "THE EGG, PRIMORDIAL FORM"

Another youth H. contrary to beliefs stated: "THE DE-COW"

The concise H.B. offered: "Surely if the egg hadn't come first, the cow, which as is known is an oviparous animal, wouldn't have been born either."

Doctor J_ gleamed: "Without a doubt, the ungulate came first, precisely as such. It remains to be seen if the one who ungulated it came even before, as logic would have it."

Nurse L. injected: "I prefer to ignore the other questions... also because now I'm too busy being abused by my father, and you know, it takes a lot of effort!"

The sorcerer M.M. conjured: "Absolutely."

Miss M.D.V. expressed: "but speak like you eat, no, eh?."

Mr. N. declared: "Yes, that's true too."

????????? N.F. claimed: "DEFINITELY THE DE-COW COMES FIRST. EGGS ARE REPRODUCIBLE, AS WELL AS REPLACEABLE, IN ALMOST LIMITLESS MANNER. THERE IS ONLY ONE DE-COW. IF SHE DIES (KNOCKING ON WOOD, AMULETS AND PENDANT APPENDICES OF VARIOUS NATURES AND MATERIALS AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE) THERE WON'T BE ANOTHER ONE..."

Majesty O. secreted: "The de-cow's egg, the well-known DeMuuuOvo."

The distinguished O.E. expressed: "The egg à la coque first of all, there is no doubt whatsoever"

Herr O. cordially chattered: "I'm not interested".

Lady P.B. communicated: "I expand and send you a kiss."

Compay P. enunciated: "Regarding the second dreadful question, according to the gentle Pib, the de-cow came first, who married the bull, who was later emasculated for reasons and lost an eye that was incubated by the first hen. The sunny-side-up egg was born, and had a fortunate life, fortune that still continues since it's also shirred. As for the de-cow, she immediately produced milk and with it the good cheesemaker made mozzarella; he handed it over then to the friendly host who served it on a cart to his customers. Since she's around, however, there seems to be some hesitation"

Boy P. #2 demonstrated: "The bovine comes first and, in a second moment, the countless faceless eggheads that infest our dear Counterfeiter Of Coins."

Another Monsieur P. #3 struck: "this is a trick, and I'm not telling you (even though, obviously, I know)"

Sir P. #4 wheezed: "pass the word"

The jurassic ...C... condemned: "The cow appeared on screens for the first time after three years of the site's activities, therefore: the egg definitely appeared first. Yes.."

Missis R.J. fussed: "Could you give me a short summary?."

Senor R.M. narrated: "The de-cow (alive and never turned into meat for slaughter, since I am a vegetarian)"

Youth S4D. expressed: "Definitely the de-cow..."

Guy S. picked his nose: "Muuuuuuuuu (once on the site you should be allowed to go crazy)""

The folklorist S.1982 argued: "As they say from these parts......oh boy 's in the neck (don't get offended eh! It's just for laughs)!"

Direct Farmer S. mumbled: "I would be honored to answer you... but I would need a comic version of your questions. Even just some sketches would suffice.."

Kid S. affirmed: "The de-cow, necessarily."

The hirsute S.M. fought: "Obviously the egg à la coque came first, used later by the cow to feed itself.."

Intellectual T. eulogized: "But these will be, I imagine, physiological flows and ebbs. And if not, I would not act by adding reviews on books, but more musical exchange spaces."

Brutal Guy T. said: "To the second question I answer that the egg came first but then it broke so the cow came, which dominated the Vikings for two thousand years."

Boy U. sagened: "The egg à la coque comes after the de-cow. the other eggs I wouldn't know... perhaps the sunny-side-up egg...."

Madame V.M. concluded: "Be clearer, more direct and explicit..."

Always more busy V. speculated: "But did you have a vacation? was it relaxing? or did the heat melt the circuits, or did the heat melt me, and I didn't notice?"

Grandmother Z.B. paternalized: "Always and in any case a bit of healthy sex first"

DeeJay Z. after much thought extrapolated: "The cow!"

Caveman Z. growled: "I share the neo-Darwinist position on the temporal primacy of the egg"
