Default Balute (eggs?)

Just saw these on a program on National Geographic Channel the other day.
The only thing I can say is YUCK!!! I guess to each their own but they
showed them from being laid, candled up to 15 days, cooked (boiled like
hard boiled eggs) and eaten and it made me swear off all eggs for a while.
The guys in the Philippines seemed to be enjoying themselves however but!
