(concept sketch)
The user speaks into the small end of the egg in order to record a message for her/his partner. He/she then returns it to the dish. It then transmits the message to the dish, which in turn transmits it over the internet to the other egg. This egg then begins to roll around in the concave dish: when the egg is held to the lover’s ear, the message plays from the large end of the egg.
