Maybe it's a big fried egg, from a big chicken, fried in a big pan? I'm trying to stop overthinking things and I feel that this is a good start.

Olis paper mache fried egg hasn't dried so I've got the heater blowing on it. Wondering if I did it wrong. I used wallpaper paste and kitchen roll.

I’m not sure what a kitchen roll is.

Kitchen roll = paper towels, so watch out for a flare up while frying.

The union of 2 points in free space is egg shaped when the points expand equally in all directions at the same rate. The two spheres may become enormous, but their union becomes a static shape, when their union is complete.

Well, that’s one egg with plenty of fiber, I guess.

No, that’s a lentil shape. It only looks ovoid from some angles. It always has an at least slightly sharp rim, no matter how big the spheres get, and it is always oblate (shorter along its axis of rotational symmetry) rather than prolate like an egg.

Yea OK, it’s close, but no cigar. :lol:

Kinda like a man is one point in space and a woman is another.

Natural pressures then round it out.

Eggs are often spherical, but passing through a tube elongates them.

It reminds me of my friend’s dumb joke about why turds are rounded.
