I was reading a Martha Stewart magazine during lunch today and came across this tidbit:
"In late-nineteenth-century Germany, eggs were used as birth certificates. A newborn's name and birth date were etched into the shell of a dyed egg, and the courts honored these "IDs" as proof of age and identity"
This seems absolutely crazy to me.
What did they do to prevent it from breaking?
What did they do when it did break?
