Meh.

Odd-shaped eggs are surprisingly common. Tails, double yolks, quadruple yolks, conjoined eggs..

It looks like someone stuck a crab leg into it. Besides, if it's had time to get from the animal that layed it to the restaurant...it probably can't be hatched now anyways. And the majority of egg suppliers don't introduce the male, to keep babies from happening.

My family kept chickens & a rooster for the longest time...a friend of mine asked how the eggs got babies...do the chickens lay the egg & then the rooster sits on it?? She was 18 at the time. I had to explain chicken reproduction to her, I just sort of chalked it up to the fact that she was Canadian. 😉

It looks like an onion.

Hey, there are no chickens in Canada. How are we supposed to know that stuff?

No chickens in Canada? Didn't the draft dodgers end up here? 😝

The way I see it is if this egg got from the farm to the restaurant, somebody HAD to have seen it when they picked it. Apparently the person picking it didn't think it was so unusual or THEY would have said something.

Also, a google for " "deformed eggs" chicken" brings up 30 results. So it's not unheard of.

And, just a side note, I wonder if Chef Wang, the egg finder, is the originator of semen-brownies?

I second the notion that it is actually an onion. A hoax onion.

I've cracked eggs with double/triple yolks before...even got one that was bloody inside (we didn't eat that one). I figure all the chemicals the birds are fed cause 'acceptable' mutations. If a chicken has 3 legs anyway it just means more dark meat for me right?

In Canada we only have the deadly snow chickens. Almost extinct but they still cause a death once in a while.

Once in a while? Chicken assassins are taking over! The stats show a huge rise in poultry related mureders last year.

They're cracking down on fowl language though.

Just a side note or side order???

....and Maegan, stop picking on us Canadians or we'll come down there and freeze yer oranges...

Well holy shit. I just looked at the site again.
Did anyone else happen to notice it came from Ananova?

Ananova just LOVES to print total crap, and then the next day or so print a retraction.

"You may have noticed some changes to the Ananova site. We have improved our 24-hour breaking UK and world news coverage." HA!

This is the link for their celebrity page, see what YOU think of their credibilty.

Besides Alex, I mean.

Oh, and it was a side NOTE.

I made myself a full order. Want some?

Taking into consideration how eggs are gathered, stored, and transported, do you think that nobody anywhere in the distribution process actually noticed the "tail" except the CHEF THAT'S SUPPOSED TO COOK IT?

And considering all that the egg has to go through in transit, how did the tail survive? Publicity opertunity anyone?

so i'm about to leave for classes and i'm eating and that,my friends, is the creepiest friggen' thing i've seen all day (which isn't saying much since i woke up a half hour ago, but still!). i think hatching that thing would be an extremely unwise thing to do. plus, since it's probably been fridged, hatching is probably impossible..... geeze that thing's nasty.

noway this egg can get out through birds anus...

Loxx, I'm not 100% sure about avian anatomy, but I don't think eggs pass through the anus.

Birds have a single orifice for eggs, feces, and urine.

UsuallyDark, that's another great reason to eat more animal products!
I just found out that "free-range" eggs carry the same risk of salmonella as regular factory farmed eggs.

Katey, if you cook the eggs, the salmonella risk is, well, zero. Same for free-range as for factory, I suppose ....

If you cook the eggs THOROUGHLY. Soft cooked eggs and poached eggs are not cooked enough to kill the salmonella. Neither are some desserts and sauces that use eggs. That's why there are warnings on diner menus now.

Free range just means that 5,000 chickens aren't stuffed into the same bit of space. My mom's cousin has a chicken farm where she worked in the summer...Every morning they would go out, pull out the runts, & smash them against a post to kill them. They would also pull out the chickens that had been trampled or pecked to death in the night. A lot of them had been partly eaten though. Chickens are the worst sort of cannibal. Also, salmonella is not caused by how many chickens are in the same space together, it's caused by bacteria that the animal carries. No matter how many acres you have per chicken, chickens will always have salmonella.

P.S. The Canadians thing was a joke. She was a ditz of the worst kind. We didn't know what else could be the cause, but since none of us had done those things & were not from Canada, we blamed her weirdness on the fact that she was from Canada...we blamed her "Canadianess" when she turned on her car, b/c she had to roll down a manual window. Also, she tried to suck up McFlurry using the spoon. "I ::suck:: can't ::suck:: get ::suck:: any out!!!" Leslie, you're sucking on the spoon. :roll: "I get it now!" Yes, Leslie, we understand that Canadians might not be as so-fis-ticated as sum of us 'mericans...but we'en know what spoons is!

"Birds have a single orifice for eggs, feces, and urine" ...

It's called a cloaca, and it's also the site for copulation, of course.

"No chickens in Canada? Didn't the draft dodgers end up here? 😝 "

You're retarded.

If you have ever seen anything Ripley's Believe It or Not-related, you've probably heard of Wang, a Chinese farmer with an 18 inch horn growing out of his head.

A chef named Wang discovered the Tall tail Egg.

Kind of makes you thinsk, huh?

Sorry, misspelled 'think'.
