    GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here. COLIN POWELL: Now at the left of the screen, you clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road. HANZ BLIX: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed access to the other side of the road. JACQUES CHIRAC: We will veto any resolution regarding non-compliance of the chicken whether it has or has not crossed the road! MOHAMMED ALDOURI (Iraq ambassador): The chicken did not cross the road. This is a complete fabrication. We don't even have a chicken. SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it. AL GORE: I invented the chicken. I invented the road. Therefore, the chicken crossing the road represented the application of these two different functions of government in a new, reinvented way designed to bring greater services to the American people. RALPH NADER: The chicken's habitat on the original side of the road had been polluted by unchecked industrialist greed. The chicken did not reach the unspoiled habitat on the other side of the road because it was crushed by the wheels of a gas-guzzling SUV. PAT BUCHANAN: To steal a job from a decent, hard-working American. RUSH LIMBAUGH: I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but I'll bet it was getting a government grant to cross the road, and I'll bet someone out there is already forming a support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you believe this? How much more of this can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars, and when I say tax dollars, I'm talking about your money, money the government took from you to build roads for chickens to cross. MARTHA STEWART: No one called to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the farmer's market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information. DR. SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, The chicken crossed the road, But why it crossed, I've not been told! ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain. Alone. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

      for designing a chicken to cross the road: First, we need a use case model describing the interaction between the chicken and the road. Also, a UML sequence diagram illustrating the iterative walking process will be necessary. We will also work with the customer to define the user story regarding why the chicken is crossing the road, utlizing CRC cards to understand the flow of chickens crossing the road in the context of the customer requirements. Next, a stand up meeting will be held in which we will all act out the chicken crossing the road. This will help us identify the discrete crossing road tasks, from which we can derive unit tests. Unit testing will utilize mock chickens (perhaps rats). Since chickens have two legs, this will be an ideal situation for pair programming, as each programmer can work on the code for each leg. We will deliver incremental releases to the customer as each step is taken. This will allow the customer to make requirements changes while ensuring that the chicken remains agile. Architectural and prototype spikes, such as mack trucks killing the chicken, will be identified and handled with further refactoring and revision of tasks. Marc

          You crack me up. Good stuff, I'm gonna foward this to the project managers here.


          how vital enterprise application are for proactive organizations leveraging collective synergy to think outside the box and formulate their key objectives into a win-win game plan with a quality-driven approach that focuses on empowering key players to drive-up their core competencies and increase expectations with an all-around initiative to drive up the bottom-line.

                  No, please refer to instructions for Pan 1.0, Broiler 1.5, or Grill 2.0. Further instructions can also be found in SnB Public Beta (previously known as Shake 'n Bake before KFC "look and feel" court settlements).

                    I thought the requirements were limited to the chicken walking across the road. So despite Jeffrey's comments, you could specialize the Use Case for the Mack Truck killed chicken. I would assume you will need the heating capability of the engine at approved roadway speeds. I am sure you can get related info from the ButterBall Turkey company as this has been repeatedly asked at U.S. Thanksgiving time. If you wish to include the chicken being taken across the road against its will, we will have to renegotiate the task as this is clearly requirements creep.

Can you believe this? How much more of this can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars, and when I say tax dollars, I'm talking about your money, money the government took from you to build roads for chickens to cross. MARTHA STEWART: No one called to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the farmer's market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information. DR. SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, The chicken crossed the road, But why it crossed, I've not been told! ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain. Alone. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question. GRANDPA: In my day,

It's actually a *erm, kid sister rule* David Stone: Why not? The road was the latest beta. Mr. Prakash: The chicken refused to write code for the two girls. The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So the chicken had to cross the road and leave the place as soon as possible. Vikram Punathambekar: It was Friday! John Simmons: Shaddup N00b! I fart in your and the chicken's general directions. Nish: OK, I guess the chicken wanted to cross the road. Christian Graus: It must have spotted a piece of metal on the other side of the road. (Oh wait, wrong "metal.") Chris Losinger: I did some image processing and now it looks like the road is crossing the chicken instead. Jörgen Sigvardsson: To change its sig. Peterchen: I don't know why it crossed the road, but I do know its name is not "Chic Ken." Roger Wright: To get to the Wright side of the road, of course!

                            for designing a chicken to cross the road: First, we need a use case model describing the interaction between the chicken and the road. Also, a UML sequence diagram illustrating the iterative walking process will be necessary. We will also work with the customer to define the user story regarding why the chicken is crossing the road, utlizing CRC cards to understand the flow of chickens crossing the road in the context of the customer requirements. Next, a stand up meeting will be held in which we will all act out the chicken crossing the road. This will help us identify the discrete crossing road tasks, from which we can derive unit tests. Unit testing will utilize mock chickens (perhaps rats). Since chickens have two legs, this will be an ideal situation for pair programming, as each programmer can work on the code for each leg. We will deliver incremental releases to the customer as each step is taken. This will allow the customer to make requirements changes while ensuring that the chicken remains agile. Architectural and prototype spikes, such as mack trucks killing the chicken, will be identified and handled with further refactoring and revision of tasks. Marc
