Weeeeellll, it depends on who you were asking.

If you asked Martin Luther King Jr., he'd say "I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question."
If you asked Hamlet, he'd say "To cross or not to cross, that is the question. - Whether 'tis nobler in the mind, to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous side; or to take arms against a road of troubles, and by crossing end them?"
Douglas Adams would answer FOURTY TWO!
Freud would tell you that "The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity!"
Moses would reply "And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto the chicken, 'Thou shalt cross the road.' And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing. Of course, if you asked me I'll tell you to shut the hell up and be glad that the chicken did cross the bloody road or we wouldn't be eating tonight would we? So eat your damn roast chicken!
