#2 Lol - Is that a challenge? Oh man, I could get banned... No, I'll just take it like a man.

No, sorry, Mrs D - I have no eggs, today. :-)

I once had an ostrich egg for breakfast. My cavalry company was at a reenactment and the owner of the farm gave us an ostrich egg. It filled up 2 9 inch skillets.

#4 "Farm employees cannot determine which of the 35,000 hens laid the big egg because the eggs are collected each day by machine."

Ummm... look for the hen that's walking funny?

#5 I worked at a poultry research place (Australia's CSIRO) once upon a time, used to take all the giant eggs home. The biggest I saw weighed 111.25 grams, and had 5 yolks.

#6 Plucked from the headlines . . . it's no yolk, people, and they're not just egging us on.

#9 The chickens laying these eggs have been contaminated by Chernobyl fallout. And the yolk's on you.

#10 Hey Deacon,

I completely forgot to ask you how your visit to Franklin was. Very poor manners on my part. It's a lovely town except for all the Yankee transplants and the highway signs that intentionally lead you astray (3 signs at an intersection...all say hwy 96 East...each one points in a different direction).
