I love, love, love learning new things. In between going to school (it seems to be an on-going process) I use the internet to learn new things. Today, I learned about eggs.
I found out about eggs because I was looking for information about hair (mine seems to spontaneously grow inches overnight). By looking on-line, I was easily distracted from hair information and found out about eggs. Someone had asked which part of the egg shell is the strongest. I thought it might be the bottom. I was mostly right, but the top part is also pretty tough. Apparantly, the arc shape helps distribute any pressure evenly. The sides of the eggs are the weakest.
What made me extra happy was that chicks know the sides are the weakest. That's how they peck their way out of their little shell-y homes. It just shows that a newborn chick is smarter than a college-educated chick. Who knew?
