Day 10

Went with LY to Jubilee theater to watch Orphan last night. Wanted to watch the 7.00 show but the mtg with mti dragged till 7.30. No choice but to cab down to the place and watch the 9.20 show which was the last show of the day, on the last day they were screening it! Was quite desperate to watch it and good thing it didn't disappoint. =) But it was quite creepy watching it in a cinema with only 8 people in it. Purposely took the aisle seat so that there won't be an empty seat beside me =p

I think because of scene in the delivery ward in the movie and my insane craving for eggs lately that this morning at the bus-stop, I started wondering if a chicken feels the pain when it lays an egg. It'll be quite cruel if the chicken has to go through a lot of pain for the consumers' sake right? Fortunately, I think it's not that painful.

According to DOM_BIRD (http://www.afn.org/~poultry/egghen.htm): "The bird stands high above the egg and rests, beak open and panting after the heavy work. The entire process (from rising to dropping the egg) is quite fast and is finished within half a minute." Thank goodness.

Had a quarrel with dad over the double yolk eggs that mum buys in a carton. He says he doesn't eat them cos he thinks those eggs are GM and god knows what side effects they'll bring. That's so crazy, I love double yolk eggs! Told him that the producers probably did an x-ray or sth to see if there were 2 yolks but he didn't believe me. But look what I've googled again:

"In egg processing factories (or farms!) they put eggs over a light box to check for defects, and you can see the yolk and if there are two yolks you can tell. They do this to check that if chicks are growing inside fertilised eggs too. Like yolk-less eggs (yes, they do happen in nature) they are usually laid by very young chickens who have just started producing." y('_')y =D=D
