To The Egg That Broke All Records

They’d say “break a leg”, but today social media is breaking eggs.

Some to create world records, and some by a woman who lost a world record. The sages thought that the zero is the beginning of everything, I say it is the egg.

We have chai, helicopters, hens, puppies and the egg-like head of Terry Crews, just in case you have the egg blues (or yellows?). . Small or large, sunny side up or poached, raw or boiled, an egg has made the world spin.

We watch black mirror, scared of the future, but the truth is; its already here. The egg might have come first, but the chicken isn’t far too behind.
