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

I presume that if they are genuinely off then the floating with be totally blatant, like standing up in the water.
Here ends the gourmet cooking lesson for today.

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?'

C S Lewis had a thing about eggs going off
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad
I wonder what he meant

I have eaten eggs more than 2 months after the 'used by date'.

That's not to say that the egg won't be tainted though. The shell of an egg is porous, which is why you shouldn't keep them in the fridge with your smelly cheese (unless you want cheesy eggs).
You should really use eggs within a couple of days of laying to get the best out of them, but you can leave them for up to 4 weeks. You're well past that now though, so best to keep it for another 100 days and sell it to somebody who likes chinese food...

Eggs last forever don't they?
I've yet to find an egg gone rotten in the fridge. I fancied a quick raw egg (saves cooking, nothing much else about) and knowing that they have been festering in there for a while, looked at the sell-by date. Display-until date is 10th September and best-before 16th September. I've eaten eggs of very unknown vintage before and not had a problem. Sniffing the egg contents didn't induce vomiting either, so it must be okay, right? I'll have just the one.Tags: None
