What are thedifferences in taste and nutrition between white and brown eggs?

White and brown eggs do not differ in terms of taste, nutritional properties and shell strength. The colour of the shell is usually, though not always, dependent on the colour of the hen itself: white individuals lay white eggs,coloured ones lay brown eggs. Different prices for different coloured eggs in the shop are likely to be due to other parameters, such as size. The price may also depend on the traditions of a particular country. If housewives in a given region prefer to buy white eggs, brown eggs may cost more because their supply is limited, and vice versa.

On April 1, 1976, English astronomer Patrick Moore riddled listeners on BBC Radio by announcing that a rare astronomical effect would happen at 9:47: Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, enter into a gravitational interaction with it and slightly weaken the Earth's gravitational field. If listeners jump up at this point, they should get a strange feeling. From 9:47 onwards, the BBC has received hundreds of calls telling stories of the strange feeling, with one woman even claiming she and her friends had been ripped out of their chairs and was flying around the room.

 

Why was one dog carried on a Stalinist overcoat in the Victory Parade?

During the Second World War, trained dogs were active in helping deminers clear mines. One of them, named Julbars, found more than 7000 mines and 150 shells while clearing mines in European countries in the last year of the war.
