POPSAbout eggs "Eggs have been known to, and enjoyed by, humans for many centuries. Jungle fowl were domesticated in India by 3200 B.C.E. Record from China and Egypt show that fowl were domesticated and laying eggs for human consumption around 1400 B.C.E., and there is archaeoligical evidence for egg consumption dating back to the Neolithic age. The Romans found egg-laying hens in England, Gaul, and among the Germans. The first domesticated fowl reached North America with the second voyage of Columbus in 1493." ---Encyclopedia of Food and Culture, Solomon H. Katz, editor, William Woys Weaver, associate editor 2003, Volume 1 (p. 558)

POPSEASTER SPECIAL An egg white that is cloudy or has a yellow or greenish cast to it is caused by carbon dioxide not having had enough time to escape from the shell and is especially common in fresh eggs Smell the egg. With time, bacteria break down the proteins in the whites of the egg and create a gas. This gas is hydrogen sulfide, better known as "rotten egg gas."

POPSTeen faces WMD charge after plastic egg explodesmisguided Prank goes wrong. Just a little over the top with the WMD bullshit. Officials should be charged with misuse of powers. Hopefully the judge will bring in sanity. If Charlies kids can flaunt swastikas, this kid should be able to pull a prank, even if a little silly.

POPSBuckaroo Banzai: "What's with the watermelon?"

If you bought the DVD (and you should have), one of the easter eggs contains this information. If not...here it is, straight from the official BANZAI INSTITUTE site.
