The Bureau of Meteorology has cancelled the heatwave morning for the wider Betoota district after an egg cracked onto Daroo Street this afternoon has failed to cook.
Local timber cutter, Darcy Pearson, decided to create some social media content on his lunch break by taking to the street out the front of The Advocate’s offices with an egg, hoping that the oppressive heat the town is currently suffering through would cook an egg right before his eyes.
However, after about 30 minutes, the egg still hadn’t cooked.
From a third story window, our reporter yelled out to Darcy, asking him what on Earth he thought he was doing.
“I’m trying to cook an egg, for my Instagram,” he yelled back.
Our reporter nodded and asked how it was going for him.
“Not good,” yelled Darcy.
“It’s not even cooking a little bit.”
“Fuck,” said our reporter.
“Make sure you clean that up before you go, Darcy.”
With that, our reporter closed the window.
Nevertheless, the Bureau answered The Advocate’s request for comment on the uncooked egg.
In a short statement, the Bureau said they would be cancelling the heatwave warning for the Betoota district on the back of the news of the uncooked road egg.
“As we all know, it’s not actually hot until you can cook and egg outside,” they wrote.
“Therefore, we feel it pertinent to cancel the heatwave warning for Betoota today. Purple monkey dishwasher.”
More to come.
