Again?

Why are news stories like this one never accompanied by photographs?


A chicken in a Kazakh village has laid an egg with the word "Allah" inscribed on its shell, state media reported Thursday.

"Our mosque confirmed that it says 'Allah' in Arabic," Bites Amantayeva, a farmer from the village of Stepnoi in eastern Kazakhstan, told state news agency Kazinform.

"We'll keep this egg and we don't think it'll go bad."

(Compare this and this.)

...so I said: "over easy" and suddenly everyone in the village goes nuts like I just pissed on a Qu'ran or something. I had 'em put it in a bag and got my ass out of town as fast as I could...for a minute there I thought they were gonna cut my head off! I learned my lesson about leaving the tour group on my own.

I have to admit to being frequently disappointed by lack of photos.

This is no different than some people in the U.S. who see Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich. But at least we get pictures!
