    The proper way to eat a hard boiled egg

    So who is right... the little-endians, or the big-endians?

    I vote "other".

    Peel it under a bit of water, then - depending on mood - butter, salt and pepper or just plain.

    Grind it up, add onions, salad dressing, etc. and have it in a sandwich.

    Since I’ve been known to be contrary anyway…I go against the Emperor and with the people. I am also a human and read numbers left to right…which also says I must vote "big-endian"…but let’s not start another holy war and just smack it in the middle, peel it, sprinkle a little salt and pepper...and pop in!

    Doggone it anyway just pull it out of the pickle jar & eat it.
    I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.
