OMG

I thought I was at school for a mintute there phew!:eek:

I think that the Canadian Tetleys tastes the same as the UK Tetleys - always find it cheaper to buy in Costco!

As for the thread going off subject - that happens to me when ever I need to do laundry - find something else to do 1st....2nd....3rd......Bum! I must go and do the laundry now - see ya later!:blink:

I'm sure R I C H can provide chapter and verse.... apparently it's all to do with the energy needed for the protein molecules to form long chains, or something?

Wonderful! So 15 minutes at the top of Everest probably wasn't too far off, especially given that the egg will probably be frozen before you start (unless you've carried it up the mountain in your underpants or something...)

It'd be better to take the chicken I'd think. That way you'd have a supply of eggs.

Feather lined underpants, just the thing for Everest.

The fomulae in the link are close, but only approximate. The author assumes his egg is spherical, which it clearly is not.

A proper derivation should use an ovoid. We may discuss which end is "up" on another occasion.

In my eggcup the blunt end is always "up." You have to cut less of it off to make a hole big enough to get your spoon in.

Which way do they come out of the chicken?? Pointy end first?? or is the point more of a "cut" mark as the orifice closes?:ohmy:
