#28--It's always 10:10 in ads for analog watches because this configuration allows for the most pleasing symmetry in the image, and that causes people to find the watch more attractive (which means they're most likely to buy it).
As for the chicken/egg thing, the simple answer is, as has already been noted, that animals had been laying eggs for millions, perhaps even billions, of years before chickens evolved. But even if we ask the narrower question of "which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?" I believe the answer is still the egg. One assumes that chickens evolved from something that wasn't a chicken, a proto-chicken, if you will. Although I suspect it would be impossible to pinpoint the exact generation in the development of chicken-kind when a proto-chicken parent birthed a bird that, thanks to some happy genetic mutation, could be called the first genuine chicken, it's clear that that bird arrived in an egg.

And I bet it was tasty with barbeque sauce.
