That poor chicken.

I’m fairly certain that Willhem Dafoe did not put on his costume himself. He had several XF personnel work diligently to accomplish this task. He spent most of the time sitting in a Director’s chair watching them brush latex adhesive on his body/bodysuit and install each of these appliances that together became the armor appearance of his suit.

Eggs in other eggs will happen from time to time (although usually smaller than this one), usually because an internal spasm of some kind pushes an egg back up into where a second egg is developing. I’d be a bit curious as to what would happen if one or both eggs were fertilized.

168 tiny links carved from the graphite in a single pencil. But WHY?

I hope that carving all of those individual links from one single piece of pencil lead was worth the time. I’m certain that. personally, there are other things I’d prefer to be doing with my time.

May the record be with you as it is with the trustee, and gesundheit.

That hen must’ve had a heck of a time passing that egg…

That was some egg!

Half an hour??Kid stuff.

Think of how long it took for Boris Karloff to become Frankenstein or Lon Chaney Jr. to turn into The Wolf Man.

Fred Gwynne once told me it took two hours to be made up as Herman Munster,

The egg within an egg happens a lot.

Did the poor chicken live?

Egg inside another egg? Yeah, it happens. We have 12 laying hens and have seen this about 2 – 4 times in the last 6 years. It is not as rare as you would be lead to believe. The 6 ounces is something else. What I have found interesting is the different colours of the shells. White, brown, green and blue. Inside the eggs are all the same. Much of that colouring of the shell is based on the breed of chicken and the diet can be an important factor. Chickens are fun.

Yo dawg, I heard you like eggs, so we put an egg in yo egg so you can eat while you eat.

A mere half hour? I date girls who took longer than that just for their hair!

We’ve encountered a few eggs recently that had two yolks inside. That’s two yolks for the price of one, folks!

i once laid an egg that was 9 ounces, so that’s…hmm, well, you do the math

Mr./Ms. Lee must’ve had a lot of time on the hands for such an accomplishment.

I’d like to know why or how Mr. Lee was able to determine that the pencil was single and not married. AND why a married pencil wouldn’t have worked just as well?!
