Spoon-Shaped Egg
Since I posted a story last week about an egg with a tail, when I came across this other story about a spoon-shaped egg, I knew I had to post it as well. Both eggs come from China. Could it be something they're feeding the hens over there?A Chinese hen has produced a spoon-shaped egg. The hen is owned by Huang Yazhou, a railway worker from Huaibei city, Anhui province, reports Chinanews.com. One morning, Huang awoke to hear the hen, which he bought from a market two months ago, making weird noises. When he checked, Huang found the hen had laid a spoon-shaped egg, 8.5 centimeters long and 35 grammes in weight.

A spoon?
I guess this is one of those inkblot things, right? Like, what do you see? A spoon? The Virgin Mary? Or the Herman Makkink rocking penis sculpture featured in Clockwork Orange?
You decide...

Perhaps this picture makes the similarity more evident:

But it looks like a CHINESE spoon !
Of course, as you can guess, Chinese spoons look a bit different from our spoons.

I'm well aware of what a Chinese spoon looks like, and this egg still looks more like Makkink's "Rocking Machine".
Of course, if you rotate the picture 90 degrees clockwise...

This one seems likely at least.

Hahaha! How weird, Channel 4 showed 'A Clockwork Orange' last night and then the sculpture appears here in 'egg' form. Morphic Resonance??!!??

Dunno about you, but I see a small, bloated cock. And as I turn my attention to Museumofhoaxes.com, I see another one. Of them.

I wonder if this is a common occurence or something truly new and unusual happening? Perhaps related to the bird flu spreading thru Asia.

No Rod, you are not alone. I don't know whether I dare ask to have an explanation!

I particularly find Ashley's combination of the adjective "small" and "bloated" confusing. Isn't that contradictiary? 😊

It looks like a music note to me...

Weird-shaped eggs are really not all that unusual. Consumers don't usually see the severely deformed ones because they are not regarded as marketable and they are culled out (used for baking ingredients, powdered eggs, pet foods, etc., instead of being sold as whole eggs) before they ever get to a market or store.

Y'know, there'd be a lot of oddballs, me included, who'd quite like to buy packs of weird shaped eggs (providing there was nothing wrong with them in a danger sort of way). Each time you made an omelette, it'd be an adventure.
"Hmmm, today I'll have the...square one, and the one that looks like Charlie Brown."
It'd be fun.

I guess the final test to determine if it looks like a spoon is to see if Uri Geller can bend it.

Greeting. I feel about airplanes the way I feel about diets. It seems to me they are wonderful things for other people to go on.
I am from Cameroon and also now am reading in English, give true I wrote the following sentence: " Best stocks to pick: they may occur high trading companies, some of which are about hedge."
:-( Thanks in advance. Stratton.
