Eggs go bad ?

[iamme]

Can you eat that egg?

By Scott Matthews
If not sure you ought-ter,
then place it in water.
If it lies on its side,
then it's fresh; eat with pride.

After three or four days,
at an angle it lays.
But, it still is a treat,
so go on and eat.

Ten days, stands on end,
in your baking 'twill blend.
'Cause it's definitely edible,
in your baking, incredible.

But, if it floats on the surface,
that egg serves no purpose.
'Cause a floater's a stinker!
Out the back door best fling 'er!

No. If you look at a cross section of an egg, any egg... hummingbird to ostrich.. there is a distinct air bubble inside seperated by a membrane. The chick has to be able to breathe before it can get through the shell.

You can see it well when you hard boil and egg and take it apart. There is a flat spot on one end.

It's not enough to make it float, and it's a GAS that's enough to cause it to float, the natural air bubble is not enough to make the egg float.

OWNAGE!!!!! 😉 😛 😛 😀

Oxygen is a gas last time I checked. 😛

Anyway, interesting.. But I still don't think its a surefire way to tell if the egg is bad or not. 😛

There also seems to be several explinations for exactly why the egg floats....

Crack it open.. You'll be able to tell if its good or bad right away. 😛

Yes, eggs go bad. Crack it open and see. You will know if you have a rotten egg or not.

I once cracked an egg that was rotten. It was completely black and brown. The smell nearly knocked me out. Ugh.
