Greatest Egg -- FINAL POLL

Four eggs were to advance from each of the three preliminary polls. However, the first poll had a tie for 3rd, so there are actually 13 eggs in the final, not 12.

Please choose your 5 favourites, which will be used in this year's Easter event.

Why is it called Little Bomb Egg instead of Gren-Egg?

The creator, Dakky21, named it Bombica, which in Croatian denotes a grenade but translates literally as 'Little Bomb'. I'm not sure if it was Dakky or someone else, but I think someone ran it through a translator and we ended up with the literal translation instead of the figurative one.

I wonder if it would have done better in the polls if it was labeled “gren-egg” because that’s solid.

I still picked it.

Croatian, while similar to English, has distinctive names for different things. Go to Google translate and try to translate "up up up up" (as in 4 times "look up!") ... you'll get a Croatian translation which will say "Gore gore gore gore" ... Now try to translate that back to English.

I now agree, Gren-egg would be much more cool, but I would have never remembered that because literal translation of grenade to Croatian is "granata" ... and "granata" looks like this:

The Poll is clearly wrong and needs to be deleted / start over. Von Eggsbury deserves better. You all should be ashamed.

Yes! Well, Mad Dice made it. The only one I would have picked. None of the others on my favourites list made it in.

Haven't gotten around to scoring it.

Was supposed to have a few days off this week. First day off is always just sleeping. Then I got an extra night of work Monday night. Yesterday taking wife for MRI, today taking myself to the dentist. My week off has evaporated. Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get called in tonight, and I'll get it scored. But it has been snowing off and on all day, so getting called in tonight remains a possibility.
