   Dr. Chuck to the courtesy phone, please.   
      
   I heard this yesterday, I'll paraphrase:   
      
   "I heard this from the lady at the egg store: You can either refrigerate eggs   
   or   
   not refrigerate eggs, but once they were refrigerated, they must always be kept   
   in the fridge."   
      
   This was in Germany -- as it seems that US and other countries treat eggs   
   differently.   
      
   In any case, the eggs in question were store-bought hardboiled eggs, and the   
   above may have been meant to apply to fresh eggs.( In Germany hard-boiled are   
   readily available, and are always dyed, probably as this makes it easy to   
   distinguish them from fresh eggs. Also, these were shiny as well, and the label   
   says this is a layer of shellac.)
