How to use egg in a sentence?

1. Lisa Steele:

   I almost feel like the egg yolk and the egg white are two separate foods.

2. Dan Porter:

   They rely on clean, well-oxygenated water, when the wildfire chocks the stream full of mud, the oxygen-holding capacity of the water is reduced. It clogs gills ; it clogs egg sacs.

3. Kristina Arriaga:

   I like ‘Jingle Bells’ as much as the next person, but the government can’t ban ‘religious’ Christmas carols any more than it can ban ugly sweaters or egg nog.

4. Waisum Ma:

   Most known non-avian dinosaur embryos are incomplete with skeletons disarticulated( bones separated at the joints), we were surprised to see this embryo beautifully preserved inside a dinosaur egg, lying in a bird-like posture. This posture had not been recognized in non-avian dinosaurs before.

5. Glenn Cohen:

   What happens to all the embryos created but not used? Does it violate ethical norms of respect to create so many potential human lives knowing that the vast majority will be destroyed or indefinitely stored? in the most extreme case, imagine an individual using sloughed skin cells left on a bathtub by Brad Pitt, for example, to derive sperm or egg in order to reproduce.
