Still fresh, damnit!
Yeah, but was the thing it laid an actual chicken egg? I've always assumed that was implied by the question, because obviously the modern chicken was unlikely to be the first bird that evolved, and all birds lay eggs. Thinking about it, I don't think bird's parents, the dinosaurs bore live offspring either, so they laid eggs as well. The differenence between the protochicken that laid this egg and the actual chicken its egg bore is likely to be relatively small, depending on how dramatic the evolutionary change was, which depends more or less on how smooth you believe evolution to have been thus far. I'd be tempted to say the egg belongs to the protochicken, since it made it, while the chicken within will eventually lay actual chicken eggs provided it's female.That's hardly a mystery anymore, since Darwin. Point to the earliest individual, you'd be willing to call a chicken, and I'll tell you, it's mother was already an egg-laying thingy.
Yes, I think your phone provides it's IMEI whenever you place a call or send a text or connect to an APN, and probably the IMSI* as well. My phone probably does that regardless of whether I've read and memorised the code on the sticker on the box. So if there were no actual sticker it wouldn't prevent me from using my phone.I'd think, it's rather the phone that get's asked. ?
*IM = International Mobile. EI = Equipment Identify, it's baked into the mobile chipset in your phone. SI = Subscriber Identity, it's an artefact of your SIM card.
