1 Egg, 2 Yolks

My husband was making his usual egg and grits breakfast and he emailed me this picture.  He cracked open an egg and 2 yolks fell out. I have heard of this but never seen it before!  He says it means good luck.  So, this inspired me to google "egg yolk superstition"...here's what caught my interest...


"In many parts of Europe, farmers would take a fresh egg into the fields in the hopes that it would bring a good healthy crop. Eggs were also used to tell fortunes – two yolks would mean a marriage was coming up soon, a black spot on a yolk was a bad omen – and an egg with no yolk at all was just about as bad as you could get."
