Emu eggs shells are a powerful aphrodisiac, says Australian artist Ivan Durrant. Durrant carves the huge eggs of the six-foot, flightless, fast-running bird, and made his discovery by accident. “There was a lot of egg dust flying around and I happened to lick my fingers ... and, well, I was unstoppable,” he claims, noting his friends have found similar results when they tried the magic dust. “About a quarter of a teaspoon of powdered emu egg shell is enough to get you randy for at least two days,” he said.
