The Curious Case of the Abnormally Oblong Egg

I discovered an abnormally oblong egg in my egg carton the other day. But when I tried to take a picture of the egg, it seemed hard to discern how abnormally oblong the egg actually was: by itself, the egg looked pretty normal. It was only by taking a picture of the abnormally oblong egg beside a non-abnormally oblong egg—a “normal” egg, as it were—that you could see how abnormal it really was. Inside, it was the same as any other egg, and just as delicious.
