In a turn of brilliance someone in Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan decided that an egg won’t go bad because the egg has ‘Allah’ in Arabic on it. Yup, an egg. Give it a smell in a month or so. I’d very much love to see a follow up to this story Reuters.
Hmm, I wonder what would happen if the egg and the virgin Mary grilled cheese were put next to each other… Would they create a cake with the face of Jesus in the frosting?
Chicken lays mystery Allah egg
ALMATY (Reuters) – A chicken in a Kazakh village has laid an egg with the word “Allah” inscribed on its shell, state media reported Thursday.
“Our mosque confirmed that it says ‘Allah’ in Arabic,” Bites Amantayeva, a farmer from the village of Stepnoi in eastern Kazakhstan, told state news agency Kazinform.
“We’ll keep this egg and we don’t think it’ll go bad.”
The news agency said the egg was laid just after a powerful hail storm hit the village.
Kazakhstan is a large, thinly populated Central Asian state where Sunni Islam is a dominant religion.
