你可见过圆形鸡蛋吗

　　According to Daily Mail October 13, hotel chef James Church made the billion-to-one discovery - a perfectly round egg. James was about to crack the freaky egg to make a fry-up for guests at The Hotel Bristol in Newquay, Cornwall when when he noticed it wasn't oval as he would have expected. "I've probably cracked at least 100,000 eggs in my time as a chef but I've never seen one like this," he said。
　　英国《每日邮报》13日报道，酒店厨师詹姆斯-彻奇日前发现了一个非常规则的圆形鸡蛋，据悉，这种鸡蛋的存在几率仅为十亿分之一。事情经过是这样的：詹姆斯正要打破蛋壳给位于英国纽基的比里斯托尔酒店的客人们做煎蛋，结果发现这枚蛋并不是他常见的椭圆形状。“作为厨师我已经打破了至少10万个鸡蛋了，但我从来没见过这样的，”他说。
