Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

When some one asks you the question 'which came first, the chicken or the egg?' they mean to trip you up and ask you a question that there is no way to answer, to confuse you. But truth is, you can confuse them by saying 'egg'.
Yeah, yeah. You think there is absolutely no way to prove the answer one way or the other. And you are partially correct. If the person asked 'which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg, there would be no way to solve it. But since they do not specifically ask about a chicken egg, you say with confidence that the egg did indeed come first, do to the proof that eggs were around way before any chicken. I mean seriously, did you find any chicken fossils from the dinosaur era? But there are reports of eggs from back then. Think about it and, after your head overcomes the cloud of confusion, what I'm saying would actually make sense.
