Egg Head Yin and Yang


At the base of our office tower, just before one crosses the street to the Ferry Building, is a whimsical sculpture entitled “Yin and Yang” by Robert Arneson. This work was part of the aptly named “egghead” series that was originally commissioned by the University of California at Davis, where Arneson taught. The Eggheads are very popular fixtures at UC-Davis, and few can resist sitting on them, or just running their hands over the smooth surfaces. (More)

Madalena




To the Orthodox, Mary Magdalene was not the "reformed prostitute" portrayed in the west. Rather, she was an educated noblewoman who helped finance the ministry of Jesus and who, after the resurrection, used her social standing to teach the gospel to upper class people who would never have listened to a mere fisherman. She has the title "Equal of the Apostles" because of her importance to the early church.

The egg story tells of her travelling to Rome after the Ascension and being admitted to the court of Tiberius Caesar. At a dinner party, she told the emperor of the miscarriage of justice done by Pilate, and then about how Jesus rose from the dead. Mary picked up an egg from the dinner table to illustrate the idea of resurrection. Tiberius scoffed at the story, saying that a man could no more rise from the dead than the egg in her hand turn red. The egg immediately turned a bright scarlet.

"Since the beginning of time the same question has been asked over and over again: what came first? The chicken or the egg? Well, I am happy to say that I finally have the answer.
It's neither. The chicken's mother came first.
That's right. The mother dropped an egg and the first chicken was hatched.
And that's what we chicks have been doing ever since.
So, if you're reading this, I have obviously not dropped my last egg."
From: "Just When I Thought I'd Dropped My Last Egg: Life and Other Calamities", by Kathie Lee Gifford

Œuf et Comète

Dessin représentant l'œuf d'une poule romaine
avec la comète gravée sur la coquille.

La fin du XVIIe siècle est une époque charnière pour l'histoire de l'astronomie. Une stupéfiante série de comètes, toutes plus spectaculaires les unes que les autres, font leur apparition: 1661, 1664, 1665, 1680, et ainsi de suite.
Celle de 1680 apparaît juste au moment de Noël. L'imagination populaire se déchaîne, même les foules se montrent impressionnées par la comète si l'on en croit une gravure de l'époque qui illustre ce prodige extraordinaire: à Rome une poule aurait pondu un œuf sur lequel était gravée l'image même de la comète. L'affaire fait grand bruit, tous les journaux d'Europe reprennent la nouvelle.
