Eggs last forever don't they?

[EternalOptimist]

possibly a true story

EO daughter, age 5 - 'Dad, dad, dad'
EO , grumpy and hungover, reading the paper - 'what ?'
EOD - 'Daaad'
EO - 'WHAT?'
EOD - 'Dad, me egg's bad'
EO - 'Just eat yer brekky, and let me read the paper'
EOD munches, and crunches more and more audibly
EOD - 'Daad'
EO vein in temple throbbing = 'WHAT NOW?'
EOD - 'Do I have to eat the beak as well?'

Similar test for the air bubble is to put them in water and see if the pointed end floats up. At least, that's what I've heard, but I often find I put eggs in water and they appear to float up a bit anyway. I presume that if they are genuinely off then the floating with be totally blatant, like standing up in the water.

There's an air sack at the big-end normally; if you like soft-boiled chuckie-egg , its a good idea to puncture the big-end with a sewing needle to stop it cracking in the boiling water when dropped in. Always open your egg at the little-end though!

Here ends the gourmet cooking lesson for today.

Does the longevity of eggs explain why eggy farts seem to linger for longer than others?
