Pink, you answered my question here:

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=503139

and never returned to post an "answer" so if you would be so kind as
to post an answer to this perplexing question, I will be able to pay
you for the other question.

Thanks

Thank you very much for your generosity!

Regarding the matter of avian migration, it is my belief that the
chicken crossed the road for the same reason Mallory climbed Everest:
because it was there. Had the road not been there, the chicken would
have been cross. In a fowl mood. Henervated. Tired and feathered.
Eggs-aspirated.

Please excuse my "tongue-in-beak" answer; $10.00 is no poultry sum.

Best of cluck,
Pink

Thanks for the answer(s). Is there any easier way to get a researchers
attention after they post a comment? I couldn't think of any other way
to pay you other than close the original and open this one.

Thanks again!

Many thanks for the five stars and the tip!

Regarding the matter of getting a GAR's attention, often if you post a
comment attached to the original question, a colleague will notice
this and mention it to the appropriate GAR (many of us keep in touch
with each other). But the best way is posting a new question with the
Researcher's name in the title, as you have done.

Here?s an old Liverpool variation of this perplexing question.

Q. Why did the chicken cross the road softly?

A. Because it couldn?t walk hardly.
