Not so famous movie quotes on EGGs

Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955) {Conversation Over a Corpse (#2.8)}
Alfred Hitchcock: I cannot abide careless cookery. Let me see. I've, uh, I've just added 10 cc's of sugar. All that is left is to add the white of one egg. And by the white, I do not refer to the clear gelatinous substance inside. Naturally, I mean the shell. This is where most amateur cooks make their mistakes. While you are waiting for me to finish, I suggest you turn your attention to tonight's story. It is called "Conversation Over a Corpse." It sounds like perfect dinner conversation.

The Addams Family, (1992)
Gomez Addams: Race you to the swamp, last one there's a fresh egg.

Alice (1976) {Sex Education (#1.7)}
Mel Sharples: 500 million... 500 million. You girls have one little egg. One little egg! We have you beat 500 million to one!

Batman (1966)
Egghead: Woe is me, my criminal career is now egg-stinct!

Boy Meets World (1993)
Cory: The first sperm to reach the egg wins. It gets a medal, it's born, ya name 'em "Cory", ya push 'em out the door, and nothing makes sense for the rest of his life.

Coupling (2000)
Howard: [trying to explain to Jane that he's gay] Jane! [shouts] I am gay! And I've always, always been gay! I was the sperm at the back shouting "No! Don't send me into that big scary cave!" I was the only sperm who had to be chased by the egg. Don't you get it? I'm gay.

Ovos de dinossáurio

Dinosaur eggs have been known for thousands of years, although at first they were not recognised as 'dinosaur eggs' and were used for jewellery and shaping ornaments. Many eggshells were found in late Palaeolithic or early Neolithic sites in Mongolia.

The first real discovery of dinosaur eggshell was in 1859 from southern France, by Jean Jacques Pouech. The French eggs were thought to belong to giant birds at first, because of their large size. More complete eggs were found in 1869 by Matheron. He thought these eggs belonged to a giant crocodile. In 1877 Paul Gervais (1816-79) published the first detailed study of the eggs, and suggested that they could belong to a dinosaur. They are now known to have been laid by the sauropod dinosaur Hypselosaurus.

In 1923 the Central Asiatic Expeditions of the American Museum of Natural History made significant new discoveries in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia. Roy Chapman Andrews found the first recognised dinosaur nests. The eggs were thought at that time to belong to Protoceratops but are now known to belong to Oviraptor.

The Egg Backpack

It all starts with the egg! We have put together a great bag for both mother and child, made from all natural hemp canvas and suede hemp. It may be one of the world's oldest fabrics, dating back to 8,000 BC. It was grown by numerous farmers like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. It's one of the strongest and most durable of all natural fabrics and is a fast growing crop. It leaves the soil in excellent condition for any other crop and is naturally resistant to mold. Our bag comes with padded straps, loads of pockets, a non-leaching poly-carbonate water bottle and key fob. A changing pad is also available.

La gallina, de Lorca

[...] ¡Da risa considerar lo simpáticas que son las gallinas! Todas tienen cresta. Todas tienen culo. Todas ponen huevos. ¿Y qué me vais a decir?

La gallina idiota odiaba los huevos. Le gustaban los gallos, es cierto, como les gusta a las manos derechas de las personas esas picaduras de las zarzas o la iniciación del alfilerazo. Pero ella odiaba su propio huevo. Y sin embargo no hay nada más hermoso que un huevo.

Recién sacado de las espigas, todavía caliente, es la perfección de la boca, el párpado y el lóbulo de la oreja. La mejilla caliente de la que acaba de morir. Es el rostro. ¿No lo entendéis? Yo sí. Lo dicen los cuentos japoneses, y algunas mujeres ignorantes también lo saben.

No quiero defender la belleza enjuta del huevo, pero ya que todo el mundo alaba la pulcritud del espejo y la alegría de los que se revuelcan en la hierba, bien está que yo defienda un huevo contra una gallina idiota. [...]

Frederico García Lorca
La gallina - Cuento para niños tontos
