The UK's Eggs-Ceptional Discovery
The Daily Mail reports … well, I guess it’s kind of a slow news day … that a woman in Seaton, Devon, found an egg. Inside of another egg. “Fran Vincent, 54, made the eggs-traordinary discovery when she opened the 5.50z free range egg to make a cake,” writes the Mail, slinging eggs-actly the kind of witty banter you’d never eggs-pect.
The story continues: “She was astonished to find a smaller egg — inside the larger 3.5ins one, which she had bought from a supermarket.”
While the writing doesn’t necessarily rise to the Nobel Prize in literature level, the photo is worth taking a gander at.
Ha!

i'd like to know what they're feeding those chickens.
5.5 ounces??? ONE egg weighed 5.5 ounces???
And it was 3.5 inches long? Was this a chicken egg? That's kind of a freak-of-nature thing all by itself.
Oddly enough, the same thing happend to our housekeeper seven or eight years ago; she was eating a harboiled egg and there was another fully shelled egg inside of it. (ist egg jumbo sized second definety a peewee)
This happened to me a few years ago. I cracked open an egg, I think to bake a cake, when out came a smaller, browner, rounder egg! We kept it in our fridge as a memento for a while. It was definitely odd.
