The answer is objectively the egg, there were millions of egg-laying animals millions of years before chickens even existed. If the question is wether the chicken or the egg containing a chicken specifically came first the answer would still be the egg because chickens were domesticated from the junglefowl and it would've been a semi-domesticated junglefowl that laid the first egg with a true chicken inside.

If someone was able to get all the shards together would animus magic be restored? When jeraboa placed the spell she only said when the item is broken. So if it was put together would it be fixed?

My opinion is that it would bring back animus magic but you couldn't use a normal item like glue/tape and if you were trying to put it back together you would need an icewing gift.

@@versatile.introvert After a LOT of arguing about what did and didn't count (we used the main Star Wars films as a guide rather than the entire Legends or Disney expanded universes), we decided that Mr. Incredible wins about 60% of the time, assuming they're fighting 1v1 in a generic urban area. To sum up the advantages each side had: Darth Vader - Has a Lightsaber that can probably bypass Mr. Incredible's durability (this is huge). Can use Telekinesis, though note that we concluded that it'd be hard to hurt Mr. Incredible directly with this (no Force Choking for example). Has more years of training/experience. Mr. Incredible - Has better agility and especially mobility. Despite having super strength, he is a tactical fighter who usually defaults to fighting from a distance against foes that have obvious melee advantages. Uses large objects like debris as projectiles, which can't be deflected as easily as Star Wars Blasters, and is strong enough to use projectiles larger than Darth Vader can simply brush away with telekinesis. Has fought a wider variety of foes, and thus will be more used to fighting someone like Darth Vader than vice versa. Improved mobility implies that he'll have the high ground. Does not wear a cape. Both - Have improved perception, either due to the Force or enhanced senses. Both also wear armor/suits that provide some light protection.

@@ashwinnmyburgh9364 Jesus didn't speak Latin. He likely spoke Aramaic.

In Hebrew, this would be something like Y'shu'im (I also don't speak Hebrew, but I know a little from 7 years of Hebrew school and a lot of time in synagogue) (ישועים maybe, but that looks wrong, and I've never been good at spelling in Hebrew, so maybe it's ישוים without the ayin).

[@trianglemoebius]

If -i or -s is used has nothing to with the spelling of the word, that's a "correlation does not imply causation" thing: the difference is if the word has a Greek or Latin origin. The Greeks pluralised with -i, so words with Greek origins still do, while the Latins used -s, -m, -a, or -um, which we've simplified to just the first. Also, English defaults to -s if it's from some other language, a trait we got from French. Keep in mind it gets a bit tricky if the word started out as Greek but became a Latin word by assimilation. For example, we don't say "Phobi" because we don't say "Phobos". "Phobia" is a Latin word, so we're using a middle step. Octopus connects directly to the Greek "oktōpous", with no Latin mid-step. Thus, Octopi. QED, "Jesus" would pluralise as Jesuses, because it is from the Latin "Iēsous".

Let's take teeth- If one were to lose one's cheeks & jaw, the remaining teeth would then be, essentially, external. However, that is not their natural state. Making a change to the natural state of something (their surroundings, etc) doesn't change what something fundamentally is. There have been animals & people born with organs outside of their body, such as their heart. That doesn't change it into an external organ. Some animals have a clear, permanent eyelid/cover. Others have a mobile lid that helps it function. If that lid is removed, that's a heck of a problem, but for an internal organ. "...if it needs to be kept inside you in order to keep working then it's internal." Eyes do indeed need to be kept in their sockets. No?

So if they were ruled to be biscuits, McVitie's would have been found guilty of tax evasion. The legal definition of a cake is that 12% of its batter after baking is made up of wet moisture. So Jaffa Cakes are legally considered CAKES as they have a moisture content greater than this.

A light-saber can generate up to 1,600,000,000 joules of energy and an internal temperature between 1800°C and 25000°C, but it doesn't output anywhere near the heat needed to burn his skin.

If you swallow it without chewing, you are drinking it because it really depends on if there is stuff IN the soup. 1:47 No, snakes do not have chins. A chin is a small bone that extends from the jaw.
