YOUR 15 MINUTES: Your Own Personal Allah Egg

Kazakhstan's answer to the virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich has been discovered -- an egg with the word "allah" inscribed in its shell...in arabic, of course. The news agency said the egg was laid just after a powerful hail storm hit the village. "Our mosque confirmed that it says 'Allah' in Arabic," Bites Amantayeva, a farmer from the village of Stepnoi in eastern Kazakhstan, told reporters. "We'll keep this egg and we don't think it'll go bad." Quite a few summers ago when my mother shipped me off to Islamic terrorist training camp, I learned that you can blow the yolk and whites out of the egg by poking a hole on each side of the egg and blowing air through one of the holes. They should do that to preserve the shell. Above is Allah written in simple Islamic calligraphy although I've seen it as simple as this:I'd be interested to see the level of detail presented on the egg. Religious archetypes on food items fascinates me. How do people find this stuff? I'm usually SO starved by the time I get to actually eat a meal that I dig in without looking at it. Judging by the fact that I'd eat a piece of napkin if it happened to be stuck to my food, I've probably bitten off the head of a hamburger Jesus a few times by now. Since I don't have much to do tonight, I'm going to see if I can find Jesus, Mary and Joseph in my corona…or maybe in my nice, big bag of tortilla chips and some queso. There's nothing like a Jesus face in your beer backwash to liven up a Friday night. [source]

boobs, allah...semantics. I don't care if an egg had Allah with giant boobs on it, I still wouldn't go near it. Eggs are my only true hatred in life.
