Okay, be honest.  Have you ever heard of the tinamou bird?  More importantly, did you know that any bird laid eggs like these??

Aren't these eggs bizarre?  How funny that such a drab, cute little bird would make such strikingly colored eggs?  My students and I were staring at them when Dean said what we were all thinking, "Teacher, they look like chocolate."
