Petaluma, USA

Petaluma is located just 32 miles north of San Francisco in the gorgeous Sonoma Valley Wine Country, California, USA

Petaluma was founded in 1852 and became not only the largest -but- the wealthiest town in Sonoma.

Petaluma’s poultry industry dates back to 1858, however, it wasn't until 1875 that business soared.

Canadian born, Petaluman Lyman C. Byce invented the first practical chicken incubator and Petaluma became rich. From the late 1800s and through the 1940s, hundreds of chicken farms were established in the Petaluma Valley and profits from the egg business poured into the town.

At one time, Petaluma was known as the "Chicken Capital of the World" or the "World's Egg Basket".

It was also known as the home of the world's first and only chicken pharmacy and featured in National Geographic and in Ripley's Believe or Not.

A National Egg Day was launched on August 13, 1918 and was celebrated each year until 1926. Festivities included a parade led by the Egg Queen with her court of attendant chicks, a Chicken Rodeo and an egg Queen Ball.

$100,000,000,000!

Zimbabwe's central bank introduced a new, higher-value $100,000,000,000 bill in an attempt to curb inflation rates that have spiralled into the stratosphere, clocked at 2,000,000% and climbing late last week.

So what does $100,000,000,000 bill get you in Zimbabwe these days? The answer, predictably, is not much — according to Reuters, a single egg in Harare now costs $35-billion. Haggle the vendor down $5-billion, and you've got yourself three eggs in exchange for the world's largest bank note in circulation. (More)

Tossed salads and Scrambled Eggs

My favorite sitcoms of all times was definitely Frasier.
Dr. Frasier Crane left the friendly ambience of Boston's Cheers and established himself in a new live in Seattle, as a radio psychiatrist.
After 9 seasons in Cheers and another 11 in Frasier, Dr. Frasier Krane, played by actor Kelsey Grammer, became the longest-running character on prime-time American television.

What does all this have to do with eggs? Well, the iconic theme song, of course:

Hey baby, I hear the blues a-callin'. Tossed salad and scrambled eggs
Oh My! Mercy! (alt: Quite stylish.)

And maybe I seem a bit confused, yeah maybe, but I got you pegged!
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!
But I don’t know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs.
They’re callin’ again.

(The following are the various alternate endings)

They’re callin’ again.
Good night, Seattle, we love you!
What is a boy to do. Good night.
Frasier has left the building.
Thank You!
Scrambled eggs all over my face. What is a boy to do. Good night, everybody.
See you next year, we love ya.

Listen here.

If you cannot makeout the meaning of the song, here is some help.

Mr. Eggman's cooking eggxperiment

“Boiling an egg isn’t rocket science …”

1: Measure food source size and weight. Measure food source shell thickness to one one thousanths of a micron tolerance.
2: Precisely measure pre purified and pre heated liquid medium into container of known cubic capacity.
3: Re test current heat of liquid medium and calculate the required heat to be applied over set time.
4: Precisely position container on heating device to within one nanometer of previously used co-ordinates.
5: Apply heat...constantly monitoring heat source for any variances to within one millijule and, at precisely the same instant, start atomic timing device.
6: Vary heat source using data collected from numerous sensors mounted in container at varying heights to allow for differences of density in liquid medium and plotted movement of food source.
7: At the exact assigned time for boiling medium to boil the food source to the required consistency heat is turned off.
8: Instantaneously the container is removed from the heat source to a cooling station to prevent further boiling. A purified cooling medium is applied to the container in an accurately metered dosage.

9: The food source is removed from the container and placed in a suitable receptacle.

Walking on Eggs (Aertsen)

Egg Dance, 1552
Pieter Aertsen
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam - Oil on panel, 84 x 172 cm

Egg dancing was a popular game played during the springtime folk festivities. First a chalk circle was drawn on the floor. Then, accompanied by bagpipe music, the player would use his feet to roll an egg out of a bowl, keeping it inside the circle, and turn the bowl upside down on top of the egg. All this had to be done without touching the flowers, leaves or anything else - and of course the egg had to remain whole. The first to succeed would win a prize: usually a basket of eggs. Here the basket is shown in the foreground.

Instructions:
- place an egg between two mobile phones
- use one phone to call the other
- wait for the radio signals to cook the egg

Cooking time will depend on the power output of both phones and be will be proportional to the inverse square of the output power for a given distance from egg to phone.

O homem que comia demais

[...] E ainda nem tocamos nos copos de leite de Suspeita e Quando fala o coração. Nem no café com arsênico de Interlúdio. Nem no hadoque de Os 39 degraus. Nem nas costeletas de carneiro (um pouco cozidas demais) que Robert Walker comia em Pacto sinistro, bem antes de estrangular Laura Elliot num parque de diversões, enquanto ela saboreava um sorvete com a voluptuosidade de uma Messalina. Nem na ratatouille que Oscar Homolka devorava quando Sylvia Sidney o esfaqueou mortalmente em O marido era o culpado. Nem no garfo que precipita a cura de Gregory Peck em Quando fala o coração. Nem nas facas de Chantagem e confissão (Blackmail), O homem que sabia demais, Intriga internacional, O homem errado e Psicose. Nem nos ovos de Ladrão de casaca.

E que ovos! Um deles lambuzava uma vidraça, atrás da qual Cary Grant se protegia. O outro, bem, o outro estava bonitinho, fritinho, com a gema no ponto (sunny side up, como dizem os americanos), quando Jessie Royce Landis, a mãe de Grace Kelly no filme, apagava nele um cigarro. Foi um dos mais belos e surpreendentes planos que Hitchcock nos legou.

A Pérola

«Kino introduziu hábilmente a faca entre as valvas da concha. Sentia a resistência do manto contra a faca. Usou a lâmina como uma alavanca e o músculo cedeu e a concha abriu-se. A carne semelhante a um lábio contorceu-se e depois descaiu. Kino ergueu a carne e lá estava ela, a grande pérola, perfeita como a lua. Captou a luz, sublimou-a e reflectiu-a em incândescências prateadas. Era tão grande como um ovo de gaivota. Era a maior pérola do mundo.»

John Steinbeck
in A Pérola

He had a dream

I also dreamed that everything in existence was a total abstract ideal mathematical whole, i.e., like, by subtracting 740 from 1000 you got 260 wich meant "Egg" more or less, & other figures, so if you wanted an egg you had the egg in its ideal mathematical wholemess & didnt even have to see it or eat it to have it! — The same with the universe, a vast Ideal you can have without seeing it, feeling it, tasting or touching or smelling it — Just thinking it, right there, yours before the being! Flashing back & forth in my head all creation was there before the asking or wanting — complete —& abstract — (Mathemtical Buddhism)

Jack Kerouac, in Book of Dreams

Cartão de Cidadão

De acordo com o Instituto do Consumidor, existem no mercado vários tipos de ovos provenientes de diversas espécies de animais: avestruz, codorniz ou galinha são alguns exemplos. Porém, até há pouco tempo apenas estes últimos não necessitavam de identificação. Como tal, era hábito no supermercado termos a seguinte classificação:

- Categoria A ou “ovos frescos”, podendo ser subdividida consoante o peso do ovo (XL-gigante-73g; L-grande-63/73g; M-médio-53/63g e S-pequeno-menos de 53g);
- Categoria B ou “ovos de segunda qualidade ou conservados”.

Agora, estão aí novas normas de comercialização de ovos. Para já sabe-se que, tal como os indivíduos têm o seu o bilhete de identidade, o produto vai ter um código identificativo do país de origem, do modo de produção, da região agrícola em que é produzido e do respectivo aviário. Uma informação que permitirá ao consumidor optar por ovos nacionais ou de outro Estado-membro, por ovos provenientes da produção biológica, das galinhas ao ar livre, das galinhas no solo ou das galinhas de aviário. A figura acima ilustra em concreto como será o “bilhete de identidade” do ovo.

Potato Priest vs. the Egg

It was waiting for him, quivering, in the badlands at dawn.
He feared it - feared that unspeakable yolk, that glistening white - but he had learned to conquer the fear. He was a monk. He had recited the seven mantras and performed the eighteen meditations, and he was as ready as one could hope to be.
He searched his heart and found only the emptiness of enlightenment, and so he faced it boldly, this lightly fried horror, this sunny-side-up invader from beyond the stars.

Soon, one of them would have breakfast.

Potato Priest vs. the Egg by Ursula Vernon

La Poule aux Œufs d'Or

L'avarice perd tout en voulant tout gagner.

Je ne veux, pour le témoigner,
Que celui dont la poule, à ce que dit la Fable,
Pondait tous les jours un œuf d'or.
Il crut que dans son corps elle avait un trésor.
Il la tua, l'ouvrit, et la trouva semblable
A celles dont les œufs ne lui rapportaient rien,
S'étant lui-même ôté le plus beau de son bien.
Belle leçon pour les gens chiches:
Pendant ces derniers temps combien en a-t-on vus
Qui du soir au matin sont pauvres devenus
Pour vouloir trop tôt être riches ?

Jean de La Fontaine, Fables

I'd like to have such a hen ! I think I won't kill her, even to have a good chocolate meal !

Egg in London ?

"30 St Mary Axe, also known as the Gherkin and formerly the Swiss Re Building, is a skyscraper in London's main financial district, the City of London, completed in December 2003 and opened on 28 April 2004. It is 180 meters (591 ft) tall, with 40 floors. Its construction symbolised the start of a new high-rise construction boom in London. The building's name is its address, St Mary Axe being the street it is on. The building was designed by Lord Norman Foster."

Egg shaped.... or maybe not.....

"The gherkin [(French cornichon) is a small cucumber type vegetable] name dates back to at least 1999, referring to that plan's highly unorthodox layout. Due to the current building's somewhat phallic appearance, other inventive names have also been used for the building, including the Erotic Gherkin, the Towering Innuendo, and the Crystal Phallus."

Linz, European Capital of Culture 2009

In 2009, Linz is the European Capital of Culture and a host within Europe.

The capital of the Province of Upper Austria is situated astride the Danube. With a population of 190,000, Linz is Austria's third largest city and links the Mühlviertel region that stretches north to the Czech border with the rolling hills that extend to the Austrian Alps in the south. The Linz Metropolitan Area is the hub of a thriving regional economy; the number of jobs in Linz exceeds the city's population. Here, technology, industry and high ecological standards are no contradiction: Linz is one of Austria's most environmentally-friendly communities with green spaces making up 60% of the city. Linking up industry, culture and nature will play an essential role in the Linz09 programme.
