You can get it from doing nothing and everything. The wise and foolish both have it. The more and less you have of it the better and worse you are in life. Time is the only boundary that keeps us from obtaining it. Most take this value for granted. There is NO device to measure it. It governs all and can never be tamed. You gain it by solving this riddle.

What is it?

Rubber Chicken She wanted to serve her guests mushroom-smothered steak, but she had no mushrooms and no time to buy them. Her husband suggested, “Why don’t you go pick some of the mushrooms that are growing wild down by the stream?

“No, some wild mushrooms are poisonous.” “Well, I see varmints eating them and they’re OK.”

So she picked a bunch and washed, sliced and sautéed them for her dinner. Then she went out on the back porch and gave Spot, their dog, a double handful. Spot ate every bite. All morning long, she watched the dog. The wild mushrooms hadn’t affected him after a few hours, so she decided to use them.

The meal was a great success. After everyone had finished, her daughter came in and whispered in her ear, “Mom, Spot is dead.”

Trying to keep her head about her, she left the room as quickly as possible, called the doctor and told him what had happened. The doctor said, “That’s bad, but I think we can take care of it. I’ll call for an ambulance and I’ll be there as quickly as I can. We’ll give everyone an enema and we’ll pump out their stomachs and everything will be fine. Just keep them calm.”

Before long they started to hear the sirens as the ambulance tore down the road. The Paramedics and the doctor had their suitcases, syringes, and a stomach pump. One by one, they took each person into the bathroom, gave them an enema, and pumped out their stomach.

After the last one was done the doctor came out and said, “Everything will be okay now,” and with that he left. The hosts and the guests were all weak and knackered sitting around the living room when the daughter came in and said to her mom, “I can’t believe that guy!”

“What guy?”

“You know, that one… who ran over Spot, he never even slowed down”.

The Big Egg

A Hen laid a giant egg with something pretty strange inside.

Enjoy!

“The big egg has another egg in it!”

That surprised reaction by a man when he cracked open an oversized egg from one of his hens has garnered plenty of skepticism. Whether the video is real or fake is uncertain, but the possibility of it happening is definitely plausible.

While extremely rare, a hen can lay an egg within an egg: It is caused by a counter-peristalsis contraction. This happens when an egg is forming in the hen’s oviduct and another oocyte is released too soon, causing a contraction that pushes the first egg back up.

Typically, a hen releases an oocyte (the egg cell that becomes the yolk) from her left ovary every 16 to 26 hours, according to Backyard Poultry Magazine. The oocyte then travels through the oviduct, where layers of membranes and albumen are added along the way.

However, if a second oocyte is released too early, the first oocyte (now in the hen’s uterus) gets sucked back inside by a contraction induced by the second egg. The counter-peristalsis contraction pushes it backwards to where it gets embedded inside egg number two.
