Found just in time for pancakes tonight!
::)
Which came first, the Roman egg or the Roman chicken?
???
The roman road...
Interesting that this story has even made Fox News amidst all their other coverage of Trump, Biden, and Taylor Swift winning the Superbowl.
Trump, Biden and Taylor-Swift sound like a dodgy lawyer firm
Which one would do the soliciting, and which would be at the bar?
Getting back to the egg business, any suggestion that it might still be edible? Scott's whiskey has been found frozen but perfectly drinkable once thawed, though I suppose that has more natural preservative than an egg...

Given the mention of the terrible smell from the eggs they broke in the report, I don't think I'd want to try it.

Any volunteers?? Unlikely actually. I suspect if they are ever prepared to go into it it will just be a mass of yuck (technical word there).
It would be nice to think there might be some DNA evidence that would be interesting to add to what is known about the development of one of our most important sources of protein but again I suspect unlikely. Enzymes will probably have broken anything useful down long ago.
