DALLAS -- Hank Thompson, who mixed honky-tonk and western swing on such hits as "A Six Pack to Go" and "The Wild Side of Life," has died. The country singer and bandleader was 82.
Mr. Thompson died of lung cancer late Tuesday at his home in the Fort Worth suburb of Keller, said spokesman Tracy Pitcox, who is also president of Heart of Texas Records.
His "The Wild Side of Life," which reached No. 1 in 1952, inspired a famous "answer song" written by J.D. Miller, "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels." Recorded by Kitty Wells, the song was the first No. 1 hit by a woman soloist on the country music charts.
Survivors include his wife, Ann. He had no children.
I did a little more search. It turns out these are not real eggs but egg shaped stones. Still amazing but not breakable. Here's the info I found:
Chinese Money Egg Sculpture
This is a giant replica of a Chinese 50 Yuan note, constructed by stacking thousands of egg shaped stones. It is located at the Guandong Art Museum in China. The photographs were taken by the owner of homestudio.cdd.cn

You are young at heart and a truly playful person. No one would ever accuse you of taking life too seriously. You are definitely in things for the fun. You find joy easily, and you are often building up anticipation for your next adventure. In relationships, you tend to want to be babied and taken care of. And while you may be a bit high maintenance, you are incredibly loyal.
Your life is simple and satisfying. Each day you treat yourself to something you enjoy. You have a lot of emotional attachments, and experiences are extra vivid to you. You tend to be nostalgic and sentimental. The past is important to you. Comfortable around all living things, you have a special connection to animals and children.
At your best, you are whimsical, free spirited, and creative. Even if your schemes seem a bit strange, they usually work out wonderfully. At your worst, you are spoiled, demanding, and impossible to satisfy. You've been known to act like a brat if you aren't getting your way!
