That is one hell of an egg!!!
I've never understood the appeal of things such as that. World's biggest easter egg, biggest ball of twine, largest fork.
I just dont get it.
I think something should only qualify as "world's biggest so-and-so" when they fulfill the same function as the smaller ones. For instance, no, a statue of a goose can't count as the "world's biggest goose." But I guess the Easter Egg can count, since they're just supposed to be decorative anyway.
How did I not know about this? :)
