Paleontologists studying microscopic pores on fossilized Fusioolithus eggshells, linked to massive titanosaurs, concluded these giant dinosaurs could not incubate eggs by sitting on them due to their enormous size. Instead, the study led by Kohei Tanaka and Darla Zelenitsky suggests titanosaurs buried their volleyball-sized eggs in piles of decaying vegetation, similar to how modern crocodiles incubate their nests, even in surprisingly cool, far-from-equator climates.

Following FDA-reported salmonella outbreaks tied to jalapeños, granola, dog food, alfalfa sprouts and eggs from supplier Midwest Poultry Services—sold under brands including Kroger and Simple Truth—one writer tested a home method to render eggs safe without fully cooking them. Using an immersion circulator, a pot of water, and about ninety minutes, the process aims to pasteurize eggs so they can be used safely in raw or near-raw dishes like Hollandaise or carbonara.
