a big egg and an actress

Today I learned that an ostrich egg is equivalent to 24 chicken eggs, but it costs $15. It also gives you kind of a start every time you open the refrigerator door because it looks kind of like there's an egg-shaped, ceramic cantaloupe in there. Also, according to my husband, ostriches are obnoxious, and in case you needed to know, Hermione Gingold was an actress.
