You can't make an egg salad sandwich if you don't break some eggs!

If you're betting on this, you know you have a gambling problem.

English betting house Paddy Power has set up a Web site with a live view of 10 eggs in an incubator and is taking wagers on which one will hatch first.

Bettors "simply put their money down and let nature take its course," a company spokesman said.

The eggs were originally scheduled to be shipped to Madison Wisconsin to be used in the settlement of a wager, but that fell through when one of the principals decided to go to the coast instead of eating an egg salad sandwich.

The eggs were then scheduled to be shipped to Perverts Corner, Ohio but that was blocked when the ATF found strange pictures of immature chickens performing sex acts on a local photographers computer.

Thus the eggs were available for this wager.
