You make it sound like a springloaded steel trap or something. I somehow think chicken vaginas don’t slam, surely it’s a more feminine means of closure.

Was the cloaca round or square? That might have something to do with it! An egg is incredible strong due to its shape and can sustain incredible compression pressures and will fall out the cloaca very easily due to its shape. That is all you really need to know. Would you rather push out nice angular blocks that are structurally weak or a nice round ovoid that contains your heritage.

Sometimes the only thing that exceeds the stupidly of science is professors of science.

I am a scientist but not beloved by my former colleges. I never asked for grants nor subscribed to political correct science that in reality is nothing but science by the highest bidder. My beloved granddaddy called such as this lying bastar-ds.

The square melons grown in Japan are only used for displays. They don’t taste as good as regular melons. (My daughter learned this on her cultural exchange trip last summer).

The joke about “slamming shut” is quite possibly as old as humanity. If you never heard it before consider yourself blessed. (The joke is actually about why something else is tapered at each end, but I won’t go there.)

I still want to know why songbirds and other non-domesticated birds don’t lay an egg every day, like chickens do.

If that gadget was in my parent’s or my grandma’s kitchen, I must have overlooked it.
I probably would have thought it was some kind of Kerosene Lamp with the wick taken out.
Those we had on the living room mantel for decoration.

You are right, you would need the Red Copper Square Pan as advertised on tv for that.

At this particular moment in time and it is current and very paticular ... I am deeply satisfied, satiated and content to be dumber than a dumgrunt.
You make more sense than I have for the last 2 - 3 hours
Just returned from karaoke ... there are blanks to fill but I am sleepy
Thank you Good Night

Thanks, I didn't know. I know the eggs of some sea turtles are round.

And FR has burnt 59 replies to a chicken and the egg question answered, returned to a question, and a novelty or two.

We've come a long way, baby.
