Answer 1

Aunque el salto de altura en una sartén caliente es una prueba popular en los Juegos Olímpicos de huevo, nunca ha sido un atleta de huevo que ha vivido para recibir una medalla.

Although the high jump into a frying pan is a popular event at the egg Olympics, there has never been an egg athlete that has lived to receive a medal.

"evento" works well as a translation of event for most purposes, but in this case "prueba" is a better one: "es una prueba popular". Also, "no ha habido ningún huevo-atleta que haya vivido para.." - bill1111, Oct 20, 2010

Answer 4

"I don't think that diving with a shellsuit was such an Eggscellent idea after all !"

= " ¡No creo que zambullirme llevando un chándal fuera una idea tan excelente al fin y el cabo !"

Editor's note: The word excellent is intentionally misspelt so as to create a pun/play on words

I used the verb zambullirse vi = to dive( from a height) but could find nothing to help me conjugate it for a reflexive verb in the present subjunctive mood

Corregid mi español, por favor

esta chiste se merece un gemido... :-) - pesta, Oct 20, 2010
