My answer used to be a simplification of your first explanation.
I simply said "The Egg... It just wasn't a chicken egg." Nice and terse and fairly accurate I thought... But now I realise that what with mayonaisse (A2043398) and all, time travel HAS to have something to do with it...
Put the two together and what do you get? Temporal Chicken Salad!!!

Splendid work, and a brilliant theory.

As the narrator says at the end of a book I read recently -
"Never mind the hard truth, which theory makes the better story"
Definitely the time travel theory

Hm. Time does have a warped sense of humor at Times, doesn't it?
And I always thought Al Gore invented chickens...
