1865
The record of the state champion egg eater is a St. Cloud man, it was reported in 1865, after he ate three hardy meals that day, made a bet that he could consume six dozen raw eggs within the space of one hour. He is bet was called and he won in 20 minutes. He offered to raise the ante a dozen more eggs, but the astonished onlookers declined to call him for a second time!
2008
Were not even going to talk about the diseases, bacteria, and viruses that may or may not come from eating raw eggs. Google raw eggs if you wish and watch young men vomit them up.
1900
At least when Grandpa Benhard ate 35 raw eggs on a bet, he didn't urp them up. I wonder if he thought about the bacteria or the virus possibilities? As I sat on his knee as a young child and listened to him tell the story about the raw eggs, I looked him over and wondered if it was really true. The only thing I can tell you is that it was always 35 eggs and he always lost the bet.
2008
Of the 69 billion eggs that are produced per year, Salmonella is only present in 2.3 million of those eggs. That translates to 1 out of every 30,000. Do you hear a blonde joke in this?
Check your list:
  • Hair styled?
  • Easter bonnet?
  • Hot cross buns?
  • Raw egg contest?
What else do we need?
  1. Color eggs on Saturday
  2. Easter bunny on Sunday

Anyone out there want to come and plow the new, wet snow off the drive?

Good Friday to all!
