I have to begin this week with some worldly weirdness – and a rotten-egg kinda guy. A friend across the pond with the BBC sent me this scrambled story. It’s about an obsessive-compulsive man and his record-breaking egg-age. I’ll explain.

I’m as obsessive/compulsive as the next out-there guy, but Daniel Lingham, 65, recently of Norfolk, England, has set the bar too high for us mere mortal obsessers.
