But Russ, are not all the eggs dead before dyeing? I would assume that an unfertilized egg is not a living being, but though I've admitted fooling around with animal husbandry, I don't know any of that scientific stuff. I figured that was something you medicos would be into.

But it's an interesting concept. If, in fact, eggs were not actually dead until cooked, one could really be dyeing dying eggs as well as hardboiled ones. Always liked to dye a few raw eggs and mix them with the hardboiled ones, just to screw with people's minds.
