While cooking breakfast the other morning (it happens), I noticed that one of the eggs had some strange features on it. I thought it resembled one of Jupiter's moons, Europa.
What? You think it's weird that I know what one of Jupiter's moons looks like AND what it is named?
I guess you're right. That is kind of weird. But in my defense, it has been in the news lately. I'm not in the mood to look it up and provide a link for you, you're on your own.
Back to my egg. For some reason, I was the only one in my house that morning that was impressed with this find. I shouldn't be surprised, I'm often amused by things that most people overlook, I just haven't had a chance to inflict them on the public until I had this blog.
I bet they'd be interested if I put it on e-bay and it caught the attention of the small but extremely wealthy niche of Europa collectors. Surely there's some out there.
-note: after some additional research I found that it is also similar to one of Saturn's moons, Enceladus. So maybe I'm not that weird after all.
Here are some additional photos. Which moon do you think my egg most resembles? Sorry for the picture quality. I don't have a lot of practice with lighting and photographing weird looking eggs.

Max and I think it looks more like Europa. Did you eat the egg?
Jack says neither.
By the way, I don't think it is strange at all that you know all this. I thought it was a known fact that YOU are nature man. As in, you know all those little known facts....National Geographic man! Stop and look at that rock man! Am I wrong?
The egg has not been eaten.
You are correct. If I could plan the ideal vacation, somewhere along the way it would include stopping and looking at/for rocks.
Europa, for sure.
You are a strange person, for sure.
...but I say that with great admiration. :)
(That is sooooo funny that you even recreated the black background to make a more authentic comparison for us readers.)
