    A famed English explorer was invited to Dartmouth to tell of his adventures in the African jungle. "Can you imagine," he demanded, "people so primitive that they love to eat the embryo of certain birds, and slices from the belly of certain animals? And grind up grass seed, make it into a paste, burn it over a fire, then smear it with a greasy mess they extract from the mammary fluid of certain other animals?" When the students looked startled by such barbarism, the explorer added softly, "What I've been describing, of course, is a breakfast of bacon and eggs and buttered toast."

          Don't forget a hot cup of water which has been strained through the ground up remnants of lightly burned, dried fruit. :java: :)

            Very interesting, except that the eggs that most of us eat do *not* contain embryos. They are almost always unfertilized eggs... a hen will lay an egg even if there is no rooster around. No single raindrop believes that it is responsible for the flood.

              No, you want dried fermented leaves. That burned fruit stuff sounds disgusting ;)

                  Well, this also explains why when you are sitting on your dozen eggs trying to incubate them, they aren't hatching. :-D No single raindrop believes that it is responsible for the flood.
