- ringo380, on 10/12/2007, -1/+182I don't think I could resist the urge to do a bellyflop directly into the middle of that.
That's probably why they don't invite me to these kinds of things. - rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -2/+119I bet that room smells NASTY.
- TheThirdWheel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+110You say that as if having the eggs hard boiled would suddenly make this a simple task.
- ngandy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+97are you looking to hire an egg stacker for something? because that would be awesome.
- Wonkanobi, on 10/12/2007, -25/+79Eggs? THIS IS SPARTA!
- themastersb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+44@ringo
If those eggs are any older than a month...... I think you should resist that urge. - seamoon, on 10/12/2007, -5/+43I'm the first and last, judging on how bad I get dugg down, to say...
EGGCELLENT. - crackedplastic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+38Shamelessly ripped without source link from:

Bread lays eggs?? boy have I been getting my eggs from the wrong place...... :( - philippbock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22Could be because he’s Chinese. Just guessing.
- TheUngod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22Let me guess..he's a guidance counselor
- hadiz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Yeah I like to buy the eggs with the magnets on them too...
- macaddct1984, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17@supernova17
I think "Glue?" would have been more appropriate. - greenlight2001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Fresh from the chicken!
- bittermang, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Yes because by harmlessly stacking them, he thus forever ruined them for human consumption.
- smspence, on 10/12/2007, -7/+22I, for one, welcome our THIS IS SPARTA overlords.
- philippbock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Why are the eggs in the 2nd pic all shiny?
- drmangrum, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15I bet this guy is just full of interesting conversation.
- repairman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Anyone else checkout that Hello Kitty-like floor tile?
- philippbock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13That’d be cheating.
- loconet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15The stupidity of the first cluster of replies on a digg posting never ceases to amaze me.
- bobothn, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16@therightclique
they are all various shades of brown green blue and white. Different breads lay different color eggs. eggs are not all white they are not all the same color brown like you see in the store. they looks so uniform in the store because they only use 2 breads of chickens to get the eggs from (White Leghorn for white eggs black sex-link for brown) Araucanas lay the blue to green colored eggs you see.
@theungod
Come to think of it, my guidance counselor was kind of worthless. - whiteninja, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I agree, your wife is always touching things she's not suppose to.
- philippbock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Oh yeah, I bet that’d make them easier to stack.
- quadvods, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Eggciting and Eggselent all at the same time.
- kertong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I was wondering about that too. I wonder if they've been coated with some sort of adhesive/sticky film to make them easier to stack.
- Spiffy101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I would use that cool egg-squarer thing that was up on Digg a while back. That'd make it easier.
- angryundead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8People don't starve from a lack of food, people starve from the lack of logistic ability to get the food to them. As in not enough fuel or funds. Possibly fuel or funds to appease local warlords. Also from a lack of ability to get food that far in-country fast enough to prevent spoilage. Also inability to project force to protect people who receive the food from hostile force.
- seneca, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9No I don't. But the guy over at www.stackingstuff.com might know. One of the leading websites on stacking... stuff....
- Fire4Effect, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Thats alot of cholesterol...
- optikalblitz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7@bittermang,
...and by harmlessly leaving them out of a refrigerated environment, they begin to spoil.
Great display of manual dexterity, though. Art through any medium--no matter how bizarre-- is NOT a waste of time. - phoopee3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Neat, but I know if I took my wife there she'd have to touch it and the whole thing would probably fall over. She always gets yelled at at museums.
- gruk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5your wife needs to grow up.
j/k ;) - ElliotShoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Wow, he even wrote some Chinese in there...
- CaptShmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I want an Omelette now
- DreKor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Don't worry, those poor starving people aren't on digg. They won't know about this.
- hbfarker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Now I know where my Denny's breakfast combo comes from. In the next room is a stack of sausage in the shape of Mao Zedong.
- TecoTeco, on 10/12/2007, -8/+11Awesome. Does anyone know the name of this guy?!
- nakile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Then right after that they link to images of nuclear explosions.
- tweder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is the only story where I'd be glad to see BREAKING in the title...
- whiledo, on 03/25/2009, -2/+5@humperdeath
Eggs aren't a particularly easy item to redistribute. They are fragile, require refrigeration and tend to spoil. It'd be like trying to get all the excess milk from Vermont to China every week (well, if they were lactose tolerant). They'd probably come out ahead of saving all the extra money it would take to do that and just BUYING people food.
@loconet
That's because it's usually a lot faster to type a stupid comment than to think up a good one.
@bobothn
Breed.
Normally I don't do corrections, but your spelling had me chuckling enough to do it this time. ;) - MaxPayne3476, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4nerditup, the eggs we typically eat and use are unfertilized so I don't care if you pop it in your ass for three weeks to incubate it, no chick is going to hatch
- WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Awesome. Does anyone know the name of this guy?!"
I bet his name is something like ...Edgar Stack.
And his wife is called Shelly. - codesuidae, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"and by harmlessly leaving them out of a refrigerated environment, they begin to spoil."
Eggs spoil as a result of exposure to air, not the lack of refrigeration. Eggs coated to keep out air (water glass aka sodium silicate is a common coating agent) can be kept in cool room temperatures for 6 to 9 months before consumption.
Modern egg processing washes eggs to remove the chicken crap, this process also unfortunately removes the natural waxy coating and encourages spoilage. The eggs in the photo are shiny, possibly as a result of a sealant which would prevent the eggs spoiling for months. - moonlessrat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4While fully appreciating his effort, originality and art (honestly a freaky idea), I also find myself strangely thinking about it in terms of waste.....what a strange world it has become, while millions starve in certain parts of the world and in others they have so much food and spare time that they can create artistic curiosity's with it.
- TyroPyro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3But you don't remember?
- whiledo, on 03/25/2009, -0/+3@codesuidae
Actually, modern egg processing washes off the natural coating (called "bloom") and later replaces it with a food grade mineral which serves the exact same purpose.
Eggs wouldn't actually ever "spoil" on their own (in the sense of rotting). They'd simply dry up while degrading in edible quality.
The main reason eggs are refrigerated is due to Salmonella enteritidis. This bacterium is present inside the chicken and therefore inside the egg before the shell even forms. Refrigeration is necessary to help reduce the reproduction of Salmonella. Salmonella won't actually hurt you if you cook the egg thoroughly and eat it right away, making sure not to cross-contaminate anything. However, Salmonella populations can double every 20 minutes, so the danger is that you'll let the stragglers reproduce and you'll wind up eating a bunch of them rather than a few that your body could handle.
Secondly, refrigeration does slow down the natural degradation process and keeps eggs fresher for a longer period of time, no matter what the coating. Again, eggs wouldn't "spoil" without refrigeration (ignoring Salmonella), but they would lose quality faster.

http://whatscookingamerica.net/Eggs/FAQ.htm - batguano, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2you do realise that these eggs are glued together... don't you?
Unless you think that the elevated 'eggways' are balanced on sheer force of will. Take a look at the lower left. -
