the Thousand Year Old Egg

While digging in Yavneh to begin work on construction of a new neighborhood, archaeologists discovered a chicken coop from 1000 years ago. And in the coop they discovered a whole egg, fully intact.

They immediately went and made shakshuka for breakfast.

Just joking.

But perhaps this can be used to settle the halachic debate on what the size of an egg really is.

The egg was settled on some soft material underground, which helped keep it intact. Sure enough, while removing it the egg slightly cracked but the organic lab of the antiquities authority was able to repair it.

The Thousand Year Old egg sounds like something the Two Thousand Year Old Man would eat for breakfast...
