Egg-cetera
The largest single chicken egg ever laid weighed a pound with a double yolk and double shell.
The most expensive egg ever sold was the Faberge "Winter Egg" sold in 1994 for $5.6 million.
During the spring (vernal) equinox (about March 21), it is said that an egg will stand on its small end. Although some people have reported success, it is not known whether such results were due to the equinox or to the peculiarities of that particular egg.
The entire month of May has been declared "National Egg Month". This is the time of the year to celebrate the many benefits of the egg.
American Egg Board's Howard Helmer, Omelet King, topped existing Guiness Book of World records for omelet making in 1990. He emerged with 427 two-egg omelets in 30 minutes.
