On "Granada Reports", our local news programme in the north west of England, back in about 1977, there was an item on how to do something odd with an egg.
It said that if you boiled an egg (for a specified time that I cannot recall) then simply left it for several years, then the yolk would somehow become an amber-like stone.
I tried this but not having enough patience broke open the egg after about three years and discovered....
A very smelly rotten egg.
Now I swear this item did appear, and no it wasn't the first of April (I might have been about 13 years old but I wasn't daft!) Does anyone else remember it? Did you try the experiment?
Is there any theory to explain what on earth they were on about??
