**gotpasswords** I was on a gondola minding my own business when some scallywag launched a dark chocolate egg at my head from this [Orange Bridge](http://www.1stoppostershop.com/products/IC/IC_Canal_with_Orange_Bridge_20552.asp) ---

Scallywag? There may be rascals and neer-do-wells around my egg, but no scallywags or scalawags. And no, that is the wrong bridge. ---

**Smam** , reward yourself with a great big Double Nougat (with extra rasperry syrup); you are correct once again! ---

The [other bridge](http://www.mistersf.com/high/index.html?highbaybridge.htm) is the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge. The actual location was inspired by the other Claes Oldenburg installations that people were hiding their eggs at. In November 2002, [Cupid’s Span](http://www.mistersf.com/new/index.html?newbowarrow04.htm) was installed near the SF anchorage of the Bay Bridge. And that’s where I hid my egg. 😛 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by photopat \* > \*\ ***Smam** , Covent Garden. \*\* Dammit I am such an idiot, my brain must have short ircuited when I read your answer **photopat**. My egg was actually hidden in **Madison Square Gardens** Just to recap, Faberge is the maker of a well known (in the 70’s and 80’s at least) aftershave called Brut’. Brut was synonimous(sp) with the heavyweight boxer Henry Cooper who did such a cheesy job advertising it, any Brits over the age of 25 should know that. ---

Oh well, Covent Garden was just a guess anyway. I can’t even remember now why I guessed it. ---

**smam** , my egg was indeed in the Lamington National Park, near the wreck of the Stinson. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-straight-dope-easter-egg-hunt/168432.md?page=4)
