Egg facts and hints:
If an egg is raw it will wobble when you spin it. If it’s hard boiled, the egg spins smoothly.
Many species lay eggs, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. They’ve been eaten by humans for many thousands of years.
Most eggs are edible at any stage of incubation but it’s inadvisable to eat the eggs of the Hooded Pitohui and the Ifrita kowaldi, both of which live in Papua, New Guinea. They eat Choresine beetles which produce homobatrachotoxin, which is toxic to humans.
The eggs of the freshwater fish Gar and the salt water fish Cabezon are toxic too. Avoid.
Quail eggs take 30 seconds to soft boil and about a minute to hard boil.
Ostrich eggs take 50 minutes to soft boil and up to two hours to hard boil. One ostrich egg is equivalent to 24 hens eggs.
If you are unsure how old your eggs are, put them in a sink full of water. If they float, they’re old and full of air. Throw them out. If they sink, they’re fresh.
Older eggs are easier to peel because they have more air in the shell, which is porous.
If you drop an egg in the kitchen, it’s easier to clean up if you pour salt on it first.
Howard Helmer hold the record for omelette making. He made 427 omelettes in 30 minutes.
An average hen will lay up to 270 eggs a year and each egg takes 24 to 26 hours to form.

Brian McLaren - Converting Christianity
BODY:
Bryan Crump talks to activist and public theologian Brian McLaren about The "Emergent Church" movement, and what it means to be a Christian in the 21st century.
EXTENDED BODY:
A casual observer of religion in the 21st century might conclude most of the energy, regardless of the faith, is at the fundamentalist end of the spectrum.
Which could be true. But it could be that the fundamentalists are just those making the most noise.
Brian McLaren is a US theologian who’s part of another wave, the “Emergent Church”.
In 1982 Brian helped form Cedar Ridge Community Church, an innovative, nondenominational church in the Baltimore-Washington region.
He served as the church's founding pastor, a role he held from 1986 until 2006.
Brian’s interpretation of the gospels is less literal, less hell or damnation if you fail to follow the code, and more about achieving the kingdom of God in the here and now.
Will this approach reach out to people who seek some sort of spiritual fulfillment, without restrictive dogma? Or is a case of Christianity lite?
Bryan Crump spoke with Brian while he was in New Zealand recently.
Their conversation pondered a wide range of issues to do with religion and faith.
From the sorts of people attracted to the “Emergent Church” to what incentive there is to be good in this life, if there’s no prospect of reward or punishment in the next one.
