to HIDE EGGS [DONT YOU THINK?]

Probably our ancestors saw animals eating other eggs and followed suit.  Once we had established that eggs were tasty, and we had domesticated chickens, we just kept eating eggs.

Here is an Easter Egg hunt at a local church in Petaluma starting at 10am, it is a hunt & pancake breakfast.  Here is the link:  http://www.firstprespetaluma.org/\n\nThere's also an event at Safari West but unfortunately they are charging a fee.  Here's the link:  http://www.safariwest.com/uevents/calendar/13/#13:\n\n\nUnfortunately, just looking on the internet quite a few hunts were last weekend and the majority of them were this morning & afternoon.  The factory outlets here in Petaluma had theirs today.\n\nHopefully one of the ones I've listed might help you out.  You could always do one in your own yard or home.  Just make sure you remember where you hid everything! :o)\n\nGood luck and happy Easter.

eggs are a symbol of resurrection and therefore the official symbol of easter.  people decorate them to give the eggs added meaning as symbolic objects i would guess.

The eggs were already in the product. The eggs lie dormant until the environment is right, and then they hatch.

Actually this has a real answer. According to the book "Random Kinds of Factness: 1001 (or so) Absolutely True Tidbits About (mostly) Everything" by Erin Barrett and Jack Mingo the egg came first.\n\nAccording to their research chickens evolved from early Indochina birds called red jungle fowl. Mutations in the jungle fowls eggs produced things more like chickens...these bred with other bird causing more mutations producing todays chicken.\n\nSo the eggs have it!

Last time I did this, we made a basket kind of thing an place the egg inside it. Remaing straws we pulled it to make it long n tied it to the egg(in the basket). Instead of throwing the egg, we slowly release the straws (straws act like a rope) so the egg reached ground safely. just make a simple catching platform in your case. Concetrate your resource for the rope and basket. \n\nThis exercise want us to think outside the box.Hope this help.

there is an science project that you put a whole uncooked egg in  vinegar and see how long it take for the vinegar to break the eggs shell down and make the shell soft and you just monitor the progress it's very cool cause you would never think that an eggs shell could turn soft you can also to give it more depth by trying other liquids and compare them

Well if I were to guess, I would suppose it was the chicken. I gather this idea from the Bible which says that God created the animals and birds not just eggs for the birds or fowl...\n\nGood luck with your quest! I supppse if you are pondering the great mysteries of life, you might consider this question. If it's a stupid question I have sure heard it asked all of my life. \n\nI know a little bit about chickens, and unless there is a hen to sit on the nest of eggs,  the eggs  would never hatch! They would suffer from cold and then no nurturing if they did happen to hatch. I have watched mother hens and they know a lot when it comes to gathering their chicks up when they feel danger for them. The hen will give them a signal just so the young chicks could all gather around their mother hen so she could fluff her feathers and seem larger and more fomidable while protecting the hatchling chicks.\n\nNot a stupid question, I am only guessing at what I feel explains it for me :)\nruthie~

well eggs are not born.  Born refers to the emergence of a new life from.  Now if you are asking which came first, then the egg did because dinosaurs and reptiles layed eggs long before bird came about.

A raw egg has protein and is good for building muscles.

Is this a trick question with some hidden agenda that I don't understand?  I love eggs!  I'd eat them for just about every meal if I could.  We've raised laying hens and there is NOTHING better than warm from the chicken fresh eggs cooked up in butter with a little herbed sea salt.  Or scrambled with heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese.  Or cooked as an omelet with bell peppers and mushrooms and cheese!  Or boiled and mashed up with fresh salted butter melting on top!  Or microwaved in a bowl "greased" with a pool of French dressing!  Or hard boiled, cooled, chopped, mixed with creamy mayonnaise and herbed salt and spread either on warm buttered toast or between two slices of sweet wheat bread!  Or deviled!  Yum!  Oh and then there is custard!  And quiche!  And creme brulee!\n\nThere are so many things you can do with them!  It is said, “The most versatile of vegetables is the tomato” (Craig Claiborne).  I think the most versatile of foods is the egg.  (You can quote me.)

well niether did... the ancient potatoe people came first and decided that they whanted to be a side dish. well they tried being a side dish with pork and fish and beef and watermelon (dont ask) and they decided that they would go so much better with some form of white meat. Well the potatoe people, or p.p. as i like to call them, got all of their most brilliant scientists together to geneticaly enginer a new species. Well they tried all sorts of things and finaly they came up with the idea of a chicken. they named it a chicken because on of the scientists, Who was afriad of almost every thing, first name was chicken. (he wasnt a scaredy cat because the purple water buffalos hadn't roamed acrost the moors of africa long enogh to find the giant mice and create the first cat like creature<he wore a hat> to battle the rodant vermine>) well anyways they didn't know weather to make the chicken first or the egg first. they argued over this for a long time when finaly this man named the colinal who wore this white suit all the time got fed up with the p.p's bickering and made both the chicken and the egg at the same time. Them he rounded up all of the potatoe people and slaugtered them, then he beat them and added butter to their remains. the colianal then became famous with his resteraunt= KFC
