youthful eggs playing in the pickle brine

Also, my HTML Alt text makes me wonder: do ocean-goers (who sail the "brine-y" deep) have an increased risk of heart disease from breathing in the salty air all the time? O_o

I thought breathing salty air was supposed to be good for you. That's why people used to go to the beach when they were sick. And now salt chamber therapy is supposed to be a great treatment for allergies and all kinds of respiratory problems. Of course, all of this applies to humans, not eggs. My theory is that the eggs die of heart disease because they're loaded with cholesterol to begin with. ;)

Wow, that HTML Alt joke make me depressed...Makes fun and life seem pointless. Have you been reading Nietzsche again?

As for your quandry - it's all based on salt consumption. While I would think that someone with a normal diet who spends a siginficant amount of time on the seas would have a higher salt consumption rate than an individual with a healthy diet who lives inland, it would only be marginally higher. Now, if your eggs are drinking brine and eating bacon and cheese all the time, then their salt consumption would be through the roof, regardless of where they live.

That was a long post...I guess in the future, I'll stick to my science - political science.
