Andrea Newberry made deviled eggs that look like the eye of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings movies. The pupils are made with olives. You can read her recipe at the link.

A hen in Eastwood, UK, lay an egg that was 9.1 inches in diameter, exceeding the standing record of 8.6 inches:
Hens’ eggs typically have a circumference of 5.5 inches and are 2.3 inches long.
Mr Barbouti, a 64-year-old taxi driver from Eastwood, near Southend in Essex, said yesterday: ‘My hens have laid big eggs before but when I saw this one I was gobsmacked.
‘Harriet is only a young hen, she’s about six months old, and has only just started laying eggs.
‘She was limping a bit but she was all right. I’m really proud of her. She doesn’t seem to have been putting off laying as she’s still producing eggs.’

I found this funny photo while digging for blogfodder in deviantART. User nocturnalMoTH created “Enjoy Your Breakfast.” Posted with the permission of the photographer.
Nancy Sims (Flickr user PugnoM) created this cute Egg Dalek and posted the process so you can make one, too! Your results may not be as professional as this but you might have a lot of fun trying. The rest of your family may scratch their heads worriedly, but at least you might enjoy yourself. Eggsterminate! (Sorry, coudn’t resist that).

Since Easter is at our doorstep, why not use the occasion to "geek out" and paint your favorite sci-fi characters on egg shells?
I considered Firefly, Star Wars, and potentially even Deadwood. But then I settled on some of the cast of Battlestar Galactica for a few reasons, but mostly because of the show’s themes of death, resurrection, and rebirth. I mean, that’s what Spring is about, right? We can at least agree on that.

What could be better than little yellow chicks being born from multi-colored Easter eggs? Why multi-colored Easter chicks being born from regular eggs, of course.
The picture on the left is not photoshopped. That’s really what the chicks look like. Their eggs were injected with dye, leaving the little ones colored upon hatching. Once their new feathers grow out, they’ll be normal-colored again, but for now, they’re mighty festive.
Jojo Krang used hard-boiled eggs to make a chicken family, with a mother hen and five baby chicks! Great for a party, but could you bring yourself to actually eat them? Instructions are included. Link -via J-Walk Blog
There is some evidence that peeling a hard-boiled egg is not as easy as it was a couple of decades ago. The reason why might surprise you -older eggs are easier to peel, and the eggs we eat are fresher than ever! As an egg ages, it loses both moisture and carbon dioxide, which causes the air bubble between the shell and the membrane to get bigger. A bigger air pocket makes eggs easier to peel.
While I’ve noticed the Peeling Problem most distinctly with superfresh farm eggs, the eggs you buy at the supermarket could be getting fresher too. Most American eggs are produced and distributed by agribusiness concerns like Cal-Maine and Rose Acre, which each have more than 20 million hens cranking out eggs just for you.
Statistics on the time it takes for an egg to go from hen to supermarket have not been calculated, a USDA representative told Wired.com, but there’s some reason to believe that new production techniques could be delivering eggs to markets faster.
A 1998 report by the agency found that big consolidated chicken egg facilities, which wash and package the eggs on-site instead of sending them to a separate processing location, could reduce the time from farm to store from 100 hours to 53 hours. And, according to Cal-Maine’s SEC filings, the industry continues to centralize, squeezing out the old facilities in favor of the new ones.
So if you are going to use hard-boiled eggs in your Thanksgiving dishes, you might want to purchase your eggs soon. Link -via Unique Daily
Eggshells are a wonder of nature. They are the perfect packaging for bird babies and the food they need. Eggshells are full of calcium. And they have a great many uses after you take the yolk and the white out. I put all my eggshells in the compost as a matter of habit. I didn’t know they were also good for repelling bugs and deer, and I certainly have never thought of putting them in the coffee! Find twelve ways to use eggshells at The Daily Green. Link -via Digg

They do not look as if they belong in this solar system, let alone on planet Earth. This collection of photos reveal the strange beauty of insect eggs (though that may well be a matter of taste). Close up they are quite out of this world:
Where is John Hurt when you need him? If he could perhaps just lean over these eggs he might get a nasty surprise but we would perhaps have a chance of identifying these eggs. Although the species is unknown this is a good starting point on our journey through insect eggs. At once a little scary but fascinating, it is difficult to believe that these will hatch in to something probably harmless to us. Fortunately, the eggs measure millimeters rather than meters so don’t have nightmares!
