    Like I doubt Mr. Scott was able to swipe almost two dozen cassowary eggs single-handedly.

    I have held as many as 72 hen’s eggs in one hand at once, in cartons in a Wal-Mart bag. ;P

    How can you trademark a beard style? Why would you want to and how does he handle people who infringe on his trademark? Maybe he should look at beating the egg holding record, providing he can handle the challenge without getting egg on his face.

    I’m thinking that there’s an evolutionary twist here: two stupid ppl involved in frivolous pursuits, plus a bird that can kick their a$$es. Which came first, 21 eggs or a Aussie bird that can disembowel an idiot with one swipe?…

    I’m pretty sure I could hold at least 36. Those cartons are darned easy to stack.

    Claimed? Why don’t we ask the proper authorities whether this claim is valid?

    The Ostrich is much larger and more dangerous. It has been known to kill wild dogs, hyenas and even lions with it’s kick. A human is no problem for an ostrich.

    “Ostriches are curious birds and are not afraid to approach a person. However, male birds can be territorial and could attack, while females are less likely to do so. An ostrich can do a lot of damage if agitated. An adult male ostrich stands between six to nine feet, while a female stands five and a half to six and a half feet and can weigh up to 330 pounds. You must be very careful in approaching ostriches and care must be shown to transport them safely. A mature bird can deliver a kick of up to 500 pounds per square inch and has very powerful wings and sharp toenails that can seriously hurt you if they are frightened. A single kick from an ostrich has been known to kill a lion in the wild. Tame birds are less likely to do as much damage however, steps must be taken to handle these birds safely.”
