Deep frying an egg

Thought this was too funny to pass up. And what better place to post it than here. Dont you love it? We happen to see one of Julia Child's French Chef programme and there she was deep frying an egg. Saw it and heard it for the first time. So thought of penning it down. She had a hot bath of olive oil and broke an egg into it as we do for egg curry. it looked something like a poached egg when it came out.
