As customary with my posting to FoRK of potentially old bit lists,
I've added one Chicken of my own to ensure there's at least one
new bit in there somewhere. A buck to you if you can guess which
one(s) I added. Hint: they're not the lamest ones.

NT Chicken:
Will cross the road in June. No, August. September for sure.

OS/2 Chicken:
It crossed the road in style years ago, but it was so quiet
that nobody noticed.

Win 95 Chicken:
You see different colored feathers while it crosses, but cook
it and it still tastes like ... chicken.

Microsoft Chicken (TM):
It's already on both sides of the road. And it just bought the
road.

OOP Chicken:
It doesn't need to cross the road, it just sends a message.

Assembler Chicken:
First it builds the road ...

C Chicken:
It crosses the road without looking both ways.

C++ Chicken:
The chicken wouldn't have to cross the road; you'd simply refer
to him on the other side.

VB Chicken:
USHighways!TheRoad.cross (aChicken)

Delphi Chicken:
The chicken is dragged across the road and dropped on the other
side.

Web Chicken:
Jumps out onto the road, turns right, and just keeps on running.

Gopher Chicken:
Tried to run, but got flattened by the Web chicken.

Newton Chicken:
Can't cluck, can't fly, and can't lay eggs, but you can carry it
across the road in your pocket !

Cray Chicken:
Crosses faster than any other chicken, but if you don't dip it
in liquid nitrogen first, it arrives on the other side fully
cooked.

COBOL Chicken:
0001-CHICKEN-CROSSING.
IF NO-MORE-VEHICLES THEN
PERFORM 0010-CROSS-THE-ROAD
VARYING STEPS FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL
ON-THE-OTHER-SIDE
ELSE
GO TO 0001-CHICKEN-CROSSING

Quake Chicken:
Blown to chicken niblets on attempting to cross the road.

Quantum Logic Chicken:
The chicken is distributed probabalistically on all sides of the
road until you observe it on the side of your course.

Linux Chicken:
Carries its nest and eggs across the road with it.

Lotus Chicken:
Don't you *dare* try to cross the road the same way we do !

Mac Chicken:
No reasonable chicken owner would want a chicken to cross the
road, so there's no way to tell it to.

NeXT Chicken:
Sold for McNuggets in little black boxes.

Netscape Chicken:
Got run over when it <BLINK>ed halfway through crossing.

Al Gore Chicken:
Waiting for completion of NCI (Nation Chicken-crossing Infrastructure)
and will cross as soon as it's finished, assuming he's re-elected
and the Republicans don't gut the program.

Java Chicken:
If your road needs to be crossed by a chicken, the server will
download one to the other side. (Of course, those are chicklets! :)
