    I once had an egg for about 15 years, and when I eventually broke it open, it was hollow.

    Actually quite cool that this year Elite, Gremlin and Codemasters will be releasing games which are either Speccy games or based on old 8 bit characters.

    I saw a TV show as a kid (Might have been blue peter or 'how') And they were showing these 'stones' that were actually eggs that had been left for years and the contents had hardened into a stone.

    So I got an egg out of the fridge and went to the airing cupboard to put it on top of the cold water tank to leave for a few years....didn't realise (I wasn't that tall at the time) the tank didn't have a top, so I just heard 'plop'.

    Not sure if they dissolve or not in water but as far as I know it's still there 30 odd years later.

    i think it takes longer than a few years for something to become a fossil.:-P

    Well not a literal stone. Shrunk and hardened (ooh errr) and looked like a stone....like a blob of hardened glue I suppose.

    It only took Karingal 46yrs though to become a fossil.

    i think the chinesse bury eggs and then eat them years later of something. might be thinking of scandiwegians and there rotten fish obsession.

    i have an empty egg shell from 25 years ago, it looks the same, but it was always hollow.

    Yeah the Chinese have that '100yr old egg' that they liked to eat on that TV show Fear Factor..they are not really 100 yr old though.

    Ten years ago on a trip in Slovakia I was presented with hand painted hollow egg shells, which are usually made around Easter, but are linked with ancient Pagan beliefs which see the egg as a symbol of the cycle of life and death. It's a local tradition which is also present in Hungary and other Central-Eastern European countries as far as I know.

    Those shells are still on a shelf among other curious items I brought from my travels abroad. They look like time had no impact on them.

    of course i like to eat them before i do that.

    watching jamie oliver the other day and he reckoned you should crack an egg in clingfilm to get the perfect poached egg, it didn't look very good.

    I have developed a bit of a weirdness when it comes to eggs. I now have to spoon out that white umbilical cord bit because one day I was looking at it and thought it looked like semen.....so now it has to come out before cooking.

    We too. And strangely enough, even here eggs made of chocolate do not taste like egg! What a strange coincidence, eh? :lol:

    ah right, wasn't sure, didn't want you getting the wrong impression of us.

    the germans are best at it though, as they chocolate egg sometimes has toys in them.

    My egg was originally a hard boiled egg, that I painted for an egg painting competition at primary school, and won :)
    I broke it when I moved out of my parents house at the age of 18, I eggspected a foul smell, but there was nothing in it at all, and no smell.
