	The Egg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The construction of The Egg began in 1966 and was completed twelve years later in 1978.
		The Egg keeps its shape by wearing a girdle - a heavily reinforced concrete beam that was poured along with the rest of the shell.
		The Egg is only minutes from the Albany airport, Amtrak and the New York State Thruway with direct access from I-787 in either direction.

	Structure of the Egg
		The egg is a biological structure intended by nature for reproduction.
		Eggs contain vitamin A, the B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin), and vitamin D. All are necessary during childhood and adolescence for growth.
		Eggs also contain an abundant supply of minerals, such as iron and phosphorus, that are essential for building and maintaining strong, healthy bodies.

	AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE MECHANISMS OF NEST BUILDING IN A WEAVERBIRD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		There are five stages to the building of the outer shell of the nest by the male (Figures 6 and 7): (1) initial attachment, (2) roof and egg or brood chamber, (3) antechamber, (4) entrance, and (5) entrance tube.
		The male invariably builds the egg or brood chamber out in front of himself from the ring, while he leans over backward to build the antechamber and entrance on the opposite side of the ring, all the while keeping his feet on the threshold of the nest (Figure 6).
		Thus, if the egg chamber is removed from a fresh nest, the bird does not ignore the defect, as if he had exhausted all of his building potential for that particular stage, nor does he continue merely building at the entrance side.

	THE EGG [Sherwood Anderson's short story]
		On the counter in the restaurant there was a wire basket kept always filled with eggs, and it must have been before his eyes when the idea of being entertaining was born in his brain.
		Grabbing another egg from the basket on the counter, he threw it, just missing the head of the young man as he dodged through the door and escaped.
		I wondered why eggs had to be and why from the egg came the hen who again laid the egg.

		Egg Harbor’s original series of 33s -- sold from 1971 to 1982 -- was built on a soft-chined hull with a reverse-step bottom.
		Egg Harbor built the first 33s on wood hulls, and added lots of varnished mahogany trim and joinerwork throughout.
		Egg Harbor reorganized in 1992 and continued building boats -- but more financial problems led the firm to file for bankruptcy again in 1997.

		Upon hitting the ground, the package must be opened by the contestants and the unbroken egg produced from within the package and shown to the judges within two minutes of the impact.
		If the egg is broken during the drop, the resulting score is a zero.

		Conduct at least two trials with their containers--for example, one with a plastic egg and one with a hard-cooked egg.
		Discuss why they needed to build a prototype and why they needed to do some trial runs with plastic and hard cooked eggs.

		The students would want to determine where the egg should be held for the start of the egg drop.

		The egg is like "sleeping beauty" a princess/queen who is rescued by a "sperm" that is part of an assaulting army, where most of the "exhausted" soldiers fall away "exhausted" in trying to reach the egg.
		Wassarman calls the egg the "lock" and the sperm the "key" when describing how the ligand binds the receptor, even though the receptor (usually called the "lock" in science) is on the sperm and the ligand (usually called the "key" in science) is on the egg.
		The egg is now like a spider, a dangerous and aggressive threat to sperm, as "she" lurks on her web waiting to "trap" the hapless sperm.

	What comes firstthe chicken, the egg, or the bad attitude?
		That phenomenon of 'reproductive attitude' is a headache for producers who must figure out how to deal with less productive hens that "partition" nutrients needed for egg production into their own bodies.
		The research team has shown the importance of recognizing that large poultry populations are made up of a collection of individuals--each with their own way of balancing their growth and reproductive priorities.
		"Building definitions of 'reproductive attitudes' has been an eye-opening process that challenges basic assumptions about how these birds function," said Dr. Rob Renema, a researcher in the Department of Agricultural Food and Nutritional Science at the University of Alberta.

	Re: When doing an egg drop, is it better to have the egg suspended or held firmly in place
		I'll just assume an 'egg drop' is a competition in building a balsa and string shell around an egg to protect the egg from a given fall.
		That said, in an egg drop, the goal is to spread the force of impact over as much area and time as possible.
		However the egg is supported, there should be as little slop or looseness between the egg and the holder as is reasonable.

	How the egg came to symbolize Easter
		The simple egg, however is perhaps the oldest and most universal symbol of rebirth and new life.
		Egyptians and Persians used to dye eggs in spring colors and give them to friends as a symbol of renewed life long before Christ was born.
		The eggs are always included in the food basket when it is taken to the church for the traditional Easter Saturday blessing.

	Building `Jaws'
		As he approaches the beacon with an Egg in his jaws, he is able to see it with both eyes until the distance is about 10cm.
		The Egg-conductivity sensor shown is switched on when looking for Eggs, and off when there is one in the jaws, to avoid galvanic effects.
		Sensor teeth which push the Egg down work much better (obviously, sigh), but require a different kind of upper jaw, one which doesn't clamp the Egg between the jaws - that's no longer possible - but merely prevents its escape.

		If only one egg is available and we wish to be sure of obtaining the right result, the experiment can be carried out in only one way.

		By studying polarized light from the Egg Nebula, scientists can tell a lot about the physical properties of the material responsible for the scattering, as well as the precise location of the central (hidden) star.
		The fine dust is largely carbon, manufactured by nuclear fusion in the heart of the star and then ejected into space as the star sheds material.
		Such dust grains are essential ingredients for building dusty disks around future generations of young stars, and possibly in the formation of planets around those stars.

		Introduction: Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion says that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object, and is inversely proportional to its mass.
		When an object such as an egg is allowed to fall freely, it accelerates towards the earth with a value of about 10 m/s2.
		This rather large acceleration can be detrimental to an egg’s well being when it is dropped from a double story building.
