Egg lovers of the world rejoice! News reaches Guru that today is World Egg Day which, as if you didn't already know, is "a unique opportunity to help raise awareness of the benefits of eggs and is celebrated in countries all around the world".
Is this some kind of yolk? Guru finds it very hard to believe that this most special of days is being celebrated across the globe.
What, for example, are employers in the UK doing to mark the occasion? Free eggs in the staff canteen? Complimentary egg cup for the best employees? Egg pelting the senior management in the car park?
According to the International Egg Commission (yes, really), eggs are versatile, high in protein and healthy nutrients. Guru just finds himself sick of all this egg propaganda.
Anyway, the egg-heads at the commission might like to know that 2008 has been deemed by the UN as the International Year of the Potato.
Why just settle for one day when you can celebrate for a whole year? Stick that in your tiny egg cups boys...
