Chickens fed on Kogllegs Magneto-corn produce eggs with strongly magnetic shells. This creates several advantages over conventional non-magnetic eggs:
• The pesky shell fragments can easily be collected using a magnet.
• They can be transported by a simple wire pulley, from which they will hang
like light-bulbs.
• They can be used make a simple boiled egg compass in an emergency.
• Given enough eggs in a matrix assemblage, they could also be used to create a maglev train - go to work on an egg! (for those who remember - UK only)

Yes - it's a sort of mechanical version of Kellogs. |

Magic magnetics with GM corn. |
|
| |
This is asking a lot of chicken metabolism... |
|
| |
Perhaps, instead, chickens could be retrofitted with
a cloacal device which coats each newly-laid egg
with a thick coat of iron-rich paint? |
|

//Magic magnetics with GM corn// GM corn? Never! Organic Magnetic Corn only. |

Luckily, I had already finished the last of the Palmer '82. I'm not sure the keyboard would have coped with a mirth-induced soaking. |
|
| |
Electrostatic eggs would be more fun. |

Just as well - it's getting to the end of its prime. I've
given myself til midnight to get through my last case
of the stuff. |

Anglo-Saxon chickens, maybe. *French* chickens can
transmute elements. |

[MB] you will enjoy <link> -- read the paragraph
beginning "En 1799, Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin" and
under NO circumstances neglect to scroll to the
bottom and see what's being cited in support. |

If you decalcified the shell in a mild acid and then re-calcified the shell while rotating it above a magnetic Halbach array you might be able to make a monoeufpole. |

Is "Gallic chicken" an oxymoron? |

This idea expires in 2 minutes gmt :-) |

Ah, Kervran - great man, great man. He was a great
pioneer of physics as it should be, rather than as it
is. |
|
| |
// physics as it should be, rather than as it is // |
|
| |
//physics as it should be// "normative physics." I
mean, if we can have experimental philosophy, why
not? |
|
| |
//Don't say this was an April fool!// I had thought that [marked-for-expiry] made this very obvious. |
|
| |
Shirley, here on the HB, an April Fool would be an
entirely reasonable, sensible proposal? |
|

Assuming you could get a monopole egg, of the south polarity, all one would have to is fit all local foxes with a collar, affixed to which would be another monopole, of the north polarity and egg stealing would be a thing of the past? |
|
| |
//Assuming you could get a monopole egg// |
|
| |
//egg stealing would be a thing of the past?// |
|
| |
On the contrary; egg stealing would be so much easier: the fox would only have to stroll through the shed and emerge with a sort of egg-pendant. |
