That thing is disturbing. If the question is "what came first, the egg or the wierd snake with one leg sticking awkwardly out of it", my vote is that the egg that thing hatched out of was a little too close to something highly radioactive. Yikes.

And just in case you were looking for a legitimate response to the question, I vote the egg.

My reasoning follows simple evolutionary theory: At some point, something that was not quite a snake hatched out a mutated offspring that was, officially, a snake. That little mutant baby did well, and before you know it he was fathering (or mothering, I'm not sexist with my theoretical mutant snake babies) all over the place.

The first snake obviously survived better than that freaky snake with the one leg. Otherwise we'd all be breeding the fantastic Peg-Legged Pythons.

Eggs don't just appear out of nowhere, although I'm sure some of us wish they did. The snake came first.

Then what did the first snake hatch out of?

...

I rest my case.

I fugured it hadn't been debated in a while. So...What the hell!

If there was an egg laying creature before there were snakes, then the egg. If not, then the snake.
