Attached the sale to a do-good organization which, I'm sure, pumped up the price.

I'm grumpy before my first coffee, but that egg ain't "perfectly spherical". My monitor might distort height vs. width badly, but if the table top squares are 'square', the egg is about 1 1/4 longer than wide.

I copied the image into my art program and found that the egg is about 229 pixels square. The table cloth has rectangles on it not squares.

I picked up that pic from yahoo images so its not the exact one in the story. Can't use copyrighted images here.
