S5 E3 - The White Albumen - a podcast by Quiz and Hers

In an eggs-cellent new episode, Justin has fried up six trivia questions about everyone’s favorite protein-packed ovals, eggs! We also crack open discussions of fine cuisine, children’s literature, and bizarre animals. And we won’t ask you to tell us which came first, the chicken or the egg. It was the egg.

2:36: Q1 (Arts & Literature): Scrambled Eggs Super!, Horton Hatches the Egg, and one other, more famous egg-related book, are all works by what best-selling Pulitzer Prize-winner?

9:14: Q2 (Everything Else): All caviar is fish eggs, but not all fish eggs are caviar.  Caviar traditionally refers to the roe of wild sturgeon from the Caspian or Black Sea, and comes in three main varieties, with Beluga being considered the highest-quality.  Name either of the other two.

18:58: Q3 (Sounds & Screen): Appropriately enough, this somehow-zero-time-Academy-Award-nominee and his brother Michael extolled the nutritional benefits of eggs in a PSA for the American Egg Board.

31:05: Q4 (Science): As we all know, most mammals do not lay eggs.  What is the collective term for the four species of echidna and the duck-billed platypus, the only mammals that do lay eggs?

40:45: Q5 (Sports & Games): I’m not making this up: Shell Shockers is a free, online video game in which you control an egg equipped with various firearms, and try to kill other eggs.  Seen through the non-existent eyes of your eggy avatar, it is one example of what particular three-word (or three-letter) genre?

46:39: Q6 (Times & Places): Due to the Russian Revolution of 1917, the last of the famous Fabergé eggs was never completed.  But, it was commissioned by this man as a gift for his wife.
