Kris777, I feel remiss in pointing out that you misinterpreted my post. I was pointing out that a dinosaur, lets call him jimmy, laid an egg before the chicken existed as a species. So, the egg that jimmy laid, still an egg in its own right, sat on this planet before the chicken did. I was not suggesting that the egg opened and produced a horse.
Jimmy can't lay an egg, maybe Jimmetta, but not Jimmy.
I agree with what Silver wrote.

Not to disagree with you
, but.........
It was Jimmy, not Jimmetta. You see, the dinosaurs were of that group that lusted after it's own kind, and because of that were given over to a reprobate mind.....that's why they ate each other, large trees, and lived in swampy areas full of mosquitos. AND, on top of it all, the end result of it was when Jimmy laid an egg that contained a chicken, and the chicken turned out to be meaner than Jimmy (it being a Banty Rooster that KNEW he was a he), and proceeded to peck the dickens out of him.....which meant that Jimmy then became hen-pecked, and you all know that a hen-pecked male that lays eggs can't survive very long, and before you know it the dinosaurs ceased to exist. Actually, they quickly learned (natural selection, you know) that if they held a vote, and selected (naturally) one of their more reprobate members to be the guinea pig, and sacrificed him/her/it to the rampaging chickens, then the rest of the dinosaurs would have enough time to grow feathers and learn to fly, and thus be able to stay out of the reach of the chickens who couldn't fly.
And thus we have the evolution of the well-known and oft beloved guinea pig that runs in circles and through tubes while doing absolutely nothing of value.
