Stoopid Shit I Learned from 'Fringe'

Did you realize that an ostrich egg is a single celled organism? I mean, it seems kinda obvious when you stop to think about it AND yet, at the same time it is a bit “No-Effing-Way”.

Seriously! An Ostrich egg is 3 pounds of ONE CELL (and nutrition for the cell, and protective covering for the cell, but you get the point). It really fucked my mind. It still does a little bit. I think of a single celled organism as an amoeba, or a virus. But when I think of single celled eggs, I think human eggs, or chicken eggs … but even a chicken egg is a little “Woah”.

It just tweaked my brain a little. Thought I would share.

You’re Welcome.
