Egg laying duck


Somehow this male duck is laying eggs, but ignore his confusion and let him delight you by scooting around and laying three little blue eggs. If you're still craving more of this plucky duck, simply reload the eggs in his back, wind him up, and he'll do it again for hours of entertainment. And when this little duck is done, he still makes a cute knick knack for your desk or windowsill! (ModCloth)

Les Œufs Carrés de Pif Gadget

Couverture du n°2 de Pif Gadget, septembre 2004

En 2004, une nouvelle série mensuelle de Pif Gadget est lancée. Le deuxième numéro offre de quoi créer des « œufs cubiques », un gadget du plus du célèbre magazine.
On y retrouve plusieurs des séries phare de l'âge d'or du magazine: Pif et Hercule chaque mois, mais aussi, ponctuellement, Docteur Justice, Placid et Muzo, Léo le léopard, ou encore Rahan.

La couverture nous annonce « Fais des œufs carrés ! ». A-t-on droit à nouveau à « la machine qui fait des œufs carrés »? Non ! Le gadget représente une poule prédécoupée à assembler...

Le gadget se monte assez facilement et rapidement, il ne vous reste plus qu'à trouver un œuf, le faire cuire, l'insérer dans le corps de votre poule - une fois la coquille enlevée - et à placer le tout dans un frigidaire. 15 à 20 minutes plus tard, l'œuf est bel et bien cubique !


Rappelons que c'est Pif Gadget, créé en février 1969, qui a permis de découvrir en France un monument de la BD : Corto MALTESE d’Hugo PRATT.

Livre de Christian Camara, Claudine Gaston
Illustrations de Gilles Macagno
Editions Ellipses

Peut- être avez-vous tenté en revenant du marché de conserver délicatement un ou deux œufs à 37 °C ? Vous en étiez sûr, avec leur label « A.B. », un poussin en sortirait 21 jours plus tard. Seulement, ça n’a pas marché...
Alors comment fabrique-t-on une poule ? Manifestement, la solution vous échappe mais après ce livre, les secrets de fabrication du vivant, cellules, ADN, gènes, développement, nutrition, respiration, reproduction n’auront plus rien de mystérieux.
Rassurez-vous, ce n’est pas difficile, d’autant que les grands noms de la science, dont une brochette de prix Nobel, viendront à la rescousse.
En bonus, vous aurez (enfin !) la réponse à la question: qui de l’œuf ou de la poule…

Egg Of Wind



The Egg of Wind, Tsukuda-Tokyo (Toyo Ito, 1991)

The egg is covered with 248 drilled panels of aluminium. At night, the object is transformed. It lets appear video images thrown on 5 liquid crystal displays placed inside the egg. These video images are live diffused or pre-registered to give an outline of announcements or informations. This night-conversion is regrettably no more active today.

Summer!


Have you ever heard the expression, “It’s hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk?” In this trick, you will learn how to harness the power of the sun to cook an egg.

On a hot summer day, bet a friend that you can cook an egg without a stove or microwave.
If it is hot enough (warmer than 35º C), you can break an egg directly on the sidewalk and it should cook within a few minutes. If it is not this hot, you can still cook an egg by creating a solar energy catcher to intensify the sun’s cooking power.
What you need: ...

OVO - Cirque du Soleil


OVO is a headlong rush into a colourful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. The insects' home is a world of biodiversity and beauty filled with noisy action and moments of quiet emotion.
When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives.
It’s love at first sight when a gawky, quirky insect arrives in this bustling community and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye – and the feeling is mutual.

OVO is overflowing with contrasts. The hidden, secret world at our feet is revealed as tender and torrid, noisy and quiet, peaceful and chaotic. And as the sun rises on a bright new day the vibrant cycle of insect life begins anew.

L'Œuf qui fait "Coucou"

LA boîte à coucou...

Cette vidéo est extraite d'une séquence des "Guignols de l'info", parodie très populaire diffusée sur une chaîne privée française par l'intermédiaire de marionnettes, émission qui fête ses 20 ans ! ils y sont tous passés ! Politiques, sportifs, stars...
La "boîte à coucou" est une petite boîte de forme cubique à reconnaissance vocale. Lorsque l'on prononce le mot "coucou" à proximité, un mécanisme provoquant l'ouverture du couvercle, l'apparition d'un œuf et l'émission d'un "coucou" sonore. Et ça marche encore mieux en disant "ah que coucou" !
L'utilisation de la boîte à coucou provoque généralement l'hilarité de son inventeur (Johnny Hallyday) et l'exaspération du présentateur Patrick Poivre d'Arvor, présentateur du journal d'information d'une chaîne de télévision française.

N' "Os Maias"

"Felizmente estavam chegando à Porcalhota. O seu vivo desejo seria comer o famoso coelho guisado mas, como era cedo para esse acepipe, decidiu-se, depois de pensar muito, por uma bela pratada de ovos com chouriço. Era uma coisa que não provava havia anos, e que lhe daria a sensação de estar na aldeia... Quando o patrão, com um ar importante e como fazendo um favor, pousou sobre a mesa sem toalha a enorme travessa com o petisco, Cruges esfregou as mãos, achando aquilo deliciosamente campestre. A gente em Lisboa estraga a saúde! - disse ele, puxando para o prato uma montanha de ovos e chouriço."

Egg Trick

The egg trick, David Devant

Dan North studies the interactions between stage magic and early cinema.
....
So, what is lost and gained when a magic trick is filmed? How do magic films compensate for the loss of liveness? First of all, there are two types of magic film – the first is when a trick is recorded “whole”, with a fixed camera and no camera tricks. See, for example, David Devant in The Egg-Laying Man, a brief record of one of the Egyptian Hall stalwart’s oldest tricks, plucking a succession of eggs from his own mouth. It’s a bit of sleight of hand, and while it’s clear that Devant is skilfully performing the illusion in real-time, he could easily have re-recorded it if something had gone wrong or if an ill-chosen camera angle had given away the secret at the first take.

Cosmic Egg

Artist: Monos
The Cosmic Egg is one of the most important symbols of the creation myth and can be traced to several cultures. In the Egyptian myth, for example, the god Geb was associated with the goose that laid the Cosmic Egg out of which all life emerged.
In this interpretation, the Egg was created – you could compare it to the womb – from chaos (the universe).
When the egg breaks open the powers of creation are released.
In this painting, the artist chose a playful combination of young wild animals, who together with children form two of the most vulnerable groups in this world.

Equidna

Echidnas and the Platypus are the only egg-laying mammals, known as monotremes.
