“Aristotle, said Douglas G.D. Russell, curator of the egg and nest collections at London’s Natural History Museum, “believed the cock hatched from a pointed chicken egg and hens from the rounder.””
Do you think that the science-writers ever pause to truly think about the implications of “settled science” when they insert a passage from a great man-of-science who’s ideas have been invalidated by a recent discovery? Nah!
Jeez, thank you science...now I can focus on something I care about, which is why Democrats are so liberal?
“If you believe the old wives’ tales, a neat bump that sits high on the stomach means you’re having a boy, while a low, rounded bump that spreads over the waist and hips is a girl.” - By SARAH RAINEY FOR THE DAILY MAIL
There, figured it out and it cost 10 minutes of my life.
A revolver with a broken yoke is just about useless ;)
And if you’ve had a couple of kids, a boy and a girl, you know that’s nonsense lol
“””Stronger fliers, such as swallows, had elongated or pointy eggs. Birds that couldn’t fly so far or fast had rounder, more symmetric ones”””
Yeah, that’s why chickens, who can’t fly, have elongated eggs. /s
...an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters and an infinite amount of time ...
Chickens,monkeys,liberals...
The problem is , an infinite number of typewriters would require an infinite amount of energy(production, use, maintenance...).
We simply cannot go there.
“Was the cloaca round or square?”
Certainly the good people at Colonel Sanders have made that determination by now?
There was once a product called The Square Egg.
Oldsters will remember it. The same era as the Pet Rock.
IIRC, it was a little Lucite box with a screw press on top, like a tiny wine press.
Another FReeper actually owns one.
Let’s please not discuss chicken vaginas from here forward.
Please.
“Why do I always have to be the smart guy who figures this stuff out?”
And lopsided men run circles around the hills of success.
My niece won’t eat eggs because they come from there, so I guess I should have known to be more sensitive.
My apologies.
No matter what shape eggs happened to be, by definition they’d be egg shaped.
“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”
“I still want to know why songbirds and other non-domesticated birds don’t lay an egg every day, like chickens do.”
If a hen and a half,
Lays an egg and a half,
In a day in a half,
How many eggs will six hens lay I seven days?
Almost as if some incredibly brilliant, all-wise and all-knowing being had conceived them. Hmmmmm.......
“Is that you Bald Eagle?”
I’m bald all right, but never made Eagle, bird, chicken or anything close?
“And if you’ve had a couple of kids, a boy and a girl, you know that’s nonsense lol”
Have a boy and a girl. And yes, it’s nonsense.
42.
I only remembered the problem and having fun with it at work.
So I cheated...28 eggs.
Fun, I like to have it down pat, then spring it when needed. But I have contracted C.R.S.
Yes!
It is exciting to see and understand some of His work.
