Are chicken fish? (beehaw.org)

I am convinced that chickens do indeed qualify as fish. The similarities in their physical characteristics, culinary use, and cultural classifications cannot be ignored. For example, both chickens and fish are animals that lay eggs, have a streamlined body shape, and possess a swim bladder. Additionally, chickens are often prepared and consumed in similar ways to fish and have been historically classified as a type of fish in some cultures.

Is this a serious question? Just because two things share characteristics doesn't mean they are the same. A bicycle has wheels, brakes, and a steering method. It is not a car.
