    And a question to everyone - is it possible for an egg to be left so long that a chicken foetus begins to semi-develop inside? (I know, my hypothesis seems to break so many laws of nature, but what else can explain the extra weight?!).


    I think the eggs we eat are unfertilised ones so I don't think this is possible. On rare occasions a fertilised egg sneaks into the pack but it would need to be stored in a warm place for the foetus to develop, not a fridge.

    Anyway, how did you discover the extra weight? Do you normally examine all your flatmates food?!

    The Chinese guy must think he's living with a right nutter, what with the daily counting and weighing of his eggs, and staring at his old carton of milk like he expects it to burst into song or something.:)

    Back before they used to print the 'use by' date on each egg, it never crossed my mind that they had a short shelf life. I regularly used to eat eggs a fair bit more than a month past their date with no problems. The yokes would maybe look a bit dull and wrinkly, but apart from that no problems.

    Maybe the carton feels heavier because it has soaked up moisture in the fridge, but then again maybe it's just your vivid imagination and the semi-developed rotten chick foetuses:P The old milk is probably because he's a bit of a lazy slob who's just left it there, and thawing food in the fridge before cooking is actually more hygienic, as there is less risk of it not cooking evenly all the way through to the centre, especially if you can't read English well enough to know what needs to be thawed first, and what doesn't.

    Yea he is probably on boards.cn asking what the hell is wrong with my flatmate, weighing my eggs and drinking fresh milk.

    So my flatmate is a bit on the strange side. And by this I mean the following:

    - He has eggs in the fridge that have been ONE MONTH out of date. They appear to have solidified/rotted because when you pick the tray up it is very noticeably heavy. But that's not the strange part - the eggs are being eaten, because each day a new one is taken from it.

    maybe he wants you to feritlize them for him

    - Today as I left the flat there was a carton of milk on his window sill noticeable as you walk past (he must be drinking that sour too).

    maybe he is a V lizard man (visitor they like sour milk right?)

    Now, does anyone have any clue what the hell is going on here? I consider myself a strange enough person, but this is downright crazy. He's Chinese, so I tried Googling some Chinese delicacies that would involved rotten, month-old eggs and sour milk, but can't seem to find any.

    he is chinese...enuff said...they eat cockroaches like they are sweeties for feck sake

    Well it turns out my housemate IS an alien. The place is like District 9 at the moment, government officials everywhere.

    Now, where did I leave those eggs?

    But that doesnt explain the weight gain despite one less egg being in the box everyday, the sour milk, the fact that the eggs look normal etc. (I'm assuming the shell of a "one-thousand year old egg" would be a bit discoloured). OP just ask him. ASK HIM!!!!!

    Rational explanation for the eggs.

    Maybe, JUST maybe, he has hardboiled them, and just stored them in an old container in the fridge.

    The milk, I can't explain though.

    I blame solar flares.

    I heard that the Chinese believe in "famine cooking" and that they'll eat anything with legs, but the table. Maybe they view a rotten egg/ sour milk as a treat... like we do a packet of Tayto?

    Dont see what all the fuss is about to be honest.

    Human corpses should be hung for a minimum of two weeks before eating,it tenderises the meat and imparts a wonderful,gamey flavour.

    Check out the toilet brush with the lights off. If it glows get the ***k out of there.
