Death Valley, CA, Sees Record Number Of Tourists Attempting To Fry Eggs On Sidewalks

[Initech]

"An employee's posting of frying an egg in a pan in Death Valley was intended to demonstrate how hot it can get here, with the recommendation that if you do this, use a pan or tin foil and properly dispose of the contents," the park said on its Facebook page last week.

"However, the Death Valley NP maintenance crew has been busy cleaning up eggs cracked directly on the sidewalk, including egg cartons and shells strewn across the parking lot.

"This is your national park, please put trash in the garbage or recycle bins provided and don't crack eggs on the sidewalks," it said.

Death Valley, located in California and Nevada, will soon celebrate the 100th anniversary of its posting the world heat record -- 134 degrees Fahrenheit (57 degrees Celsius) -- on July 10, 1913.

1. Nasty. There's a reason painters used egg as a binder centuries ago.

That shit is hard to clean when it hardens.
