There was a particularly memorable Big Brother housemate a few years ago who genuinely did not know where eggs came from. She was familiar with eggs as a concept, and eating eggs. But when she learned that they came from chicken's vaginas she couldn't believe it. And this woman was 30 at least.

The thing is, people laugh at these people, but I have sympathy for them. If they've never been near a farm (as many people haven't) they're only going to know this stuff if someone tells them. School teaching in the UK can be weird sometimes; I bet that woman had been taught the order of the planets in primary school. Which is likely to be of more use to her in life?Originally posted by wakka View PostComment

What seriously? Dude they put pictures of chickens on the egg box! If you don't know where eggs come from as a mentally healthy adult you are a serious dumdum.

Um....I'm certain eggs emerge from the chicken's anus...that's why they have brown on.
Nothing irks me more than misinformation!Comment

You can't blame education for that. A normal capacity child will ask questions about the world around them as they grow up, and learn things like where eggs come from by themselves.
To quote my friend's three year old son... "Mulk comes fae udders".Comment

Some eggs come out the back and some out of the front. That's why you have brown or white eggs.Originally posted by JazzFunk View PostComment

A pipe burst above my lounge last weekend after another tenant shut her heat off while she was away. I'll now be staying at my sister in law's basement for what could be up to a month. Fortunately none of our stuff got damaged but the ceiling and carpet are being replaced. Co-workers continue to talk about their incredible house investments knowing that I am effectively homeless at the moment, gah!Comment

Same thing happened to the people above me, I escaped with no damage (except some concerning fizzling from my breaker box and the ever worrying sound of water in the walls). The apartment a few above me went away for the weekend and left their balcony door open...for the pipes to freeze and burst.Comment

It does seem to be incredibly common in Canada, why anyone even thinks of opening a window / balcony door in February here is beyond me.Comment

Someone seems to do it every winter. Living in a building half full of stoners doesn't help, neither does the yo-yoing temperatures this winter. It was New Year's Eve that the pipe burst, so apart from stemming the flow that day, nothing else got done until January 2nd. Their shoes were floating there was so much water, and it's lucky we have hardwood flooring not carpet or it might have taken even longer for someone to notice.
Who the hell goes away for a couple of days and leaves a balcony door open?? I'd be tempted to cat burglar my way in.

gah, need 10 more points on Club Nintendo to get a game, currently at 190
