Green eggs
What on earth? There is a news video up on Yahoo about the astonishing Mexican hen who lays green-shelled eggs. What is astonishing about it? We've had eggs like that all my life. These eggs look no different than typical green-shelled eggs.

I would not eat them on a bus, I would not eat them if I must,
I would not eat them on a train, I would not eat them on a plane,
I would not eat green eggs and ham! I do not like them, Sam I am.

This kind of stuff makes me want to scream. This is what passes for news? This is not news, but it fills the Internet and it's the kind of stuff our local TV news is chock full of. Democracy depends on an informed populace.

Re: Green eggs
People who have not seen them will be surprised, just as I was the first time. Surprisingly though (cough), the fact that I first encountered them years ago doesn't equate to the rest of the world having a clue.Walden wrote:What on earth?

Re: Green eggs
My great grandparents raised hens that laid green eggs, as did other farm folks here in Oklahoma. They're common on both sides of the state, and I'd assume elsewhere.
I remember when I was in Kindergarten and the teacher was going to read us Green Eggs and Ham, and she asked me if I'd ever had green eggs and ham and I said yes.

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Just add red cabbage to fried eggs. The eggs go green.
Red Cabbage is a sort of Natural Litmus paper. In fact, you can make your own litmus paper out of Red Cabbage. Eggs are pH neutral, so instead of going Red (acid) or Blue (alkaline) they go green.
