Now I can FINALLY move on with my life.
Thank you science!!!!
Probably discovered by a shell company...
How much did this cost us?
Square eggs wouldn’t be good in a round frying pan.
“believed the cock hatched from a pointed chicken egg and hens from the rounder.”
An Irish ‘lady’ once whispered this in my ear back in my Navy days.
I’m just waiting for a farmer or Agricultural Scientist to produce a square egg. I’ve already seen square melons and tomatoes. The advantage there is these two vegs can be more efficiently packed and trucked away with less probable damage. I suppose a square egg is pretty much impossible, unless the soft beginning form is removed from the bird and placed in a little square shaped mold. Not very likely to occur. What would be the point other than novelty?
I have never wondered ... it always just seemed to be the Right Correct Shape
Am I weird? I also don’t question the shape of Mountains or the amount of CO2 in the Air.
But which came first?
So that they would make good omelettes?
Did they figure out which came first, the Results or the Government Grant?
All I really care about is whether round or oval shaped eggs taste better.
Turtle eggs are round.
Why are lizard and snake eggs elliptical?
Ping to Salamander.
Natural selection took out the birds that produced cubes and rectangles.
Well you know what they say about monkeys and typewriters, so given trillions of years I’m sure a chicken and a vagina can produce Shakespeare.
Why do I always have to be the smart guy who figures this stuff out?
No matter what shape eggs happened to be, by definition they’d be egg shaped.
I’d heard years ago the eggs are shaped as they are to keep the Chicken’s thangy from slamming shut after laying the egg.
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.
I still want to know why songbirds and other non-domesticated birds don’t lay an egg every day, like chickens do.
