Looking for eggs.

I was think how hard it is to see eggs unless the sun is shining the right way. Then I remember playing with a black light. You when you walk into a club and your white shirt turns blue. Well I was wondering it the same thing happens to a white egg. I was thinking about getting a small black light like the kind banks use to scan money to look for the hidden seals. Has anyone tried this and is it worth spending the money on a black light.

I don't know about the black light, but I have switched over to black plastic foundation and that makes finding eggs very easy.

+1 on black plastic foundation. Really makes them so much easier to see.
No, haven't tried a black light. Interesting question.

Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.
