gasseous eggs

A little humor:
This extract from an article in today's BP about the pros/cons of selling eggs by weight.
"Pilot Sukhamanee, an egg seller at the fresh market in Phichit, said she preferred to sell eggs by the piece as sellers know how much profit they will make. She said old eggs would weigh less as the shells fill with gas and so vendors would lose out."

As the Church Lady used to say, "Well, isn't that special?"

Is that before or after it fills with a chicken feotus ........ mmmm crunchy

so maybe next step is a gas detector for eggs, so we will know they are fresh or old

If they float, don't buy 'em. You can check out a few at the pla nin tank.

I've laid a few gasseous eggs, especially after a night on the curry and beer.
