Eggs come in two sizes: Small and Regular.
Small eggs can be easily identified by the words "Extra Large" on the carton.
Regular eggs are also referred to as "Jumbo".
If the "egg carton" in your fridge has the words "large" or "medium" on it, it means that you are out of eggs.
There are seven acceptable things that can be found on top of eggs:
The first, of course, is a chicken. The others include: salt, pepper, ketchup (but never, *ever* catsup), bacon, ham and cheese.
If there is syrup near your eggs, then you probably woke up in New Hampshire.

Eggs: good, and good for you.

Don't forget how good eggs are on top of things, like pizza and burgers

Huevos rancheros, with a bit of chorizo.....
Theres also the whole biscuit, egg, sausage gravy thing.
Don't forget about a fried egg on a hamburger.
Best thing to ever come out of Australia. (and the least horrifying)
POWs in Japanese camps lived because they managed to get just enough eggs (about 1 per week per man) to survive on a diet of rice.
Being from California, salsa and/or avocado are highly appropriate on eggs (or indeed, pretty much anything).

And like everything from Australia it's still probably able to kill you.

No.
I'm just finishing up a twelve hour fast for blood work. There was a long line at Dunkin' Donuts, and the carton in the home fridge says "large" on it.
Hard boiled eggs with salt and sriracha is also tasty.
The local Korean grocery sells quail eggs. I've thought about buying a box and confusing everyone with the world's tiniest deviled eggs.

I'm 20, college educated, and I don't know what you're supposed to do with eggs. I keep trying to bite into them but they're crunchy, taste terrible, and get all over my beard.

Perfect soft boiled eggs: 1/2" of water in a pot with a lid. Bring to a boil. Place as many eggs as you want as long as they have a bit of room to sit on the bottom and replace the lid. Boil for 6 minutes 30 seconds. Remove from heat and immediately rinse with cold water for 30 seconds with the eggs in the pot, letting the water flow out of the pot.
Serve immediately.

Can't eat eggs. Sulfur in them makes me sick. Disappointing.

Pickled eggs are delicious.

One sunday morning in college I woke up hungry (college swimmer). So I scrambled nine eggs and ate them. I was still hungry so I scrambled nine more and ate those.
18 is still my record.

If they're that fresh, then poached is the way to go.
