Get some water boiling.
Put eggs in boiling water. Keep it simmering.
Wait 10 minutes, no more, no less. (this is the step people usually mess up... more than3 minutes, it's not worth standing around waiting for it, so you do something else... after 8 minutes, you think only 5 have elapsed and you keep on doing what you're doing now)
Retrieve eggs.
Done.

But.... What if I want the yolks soft?

Fry them.
In Portuguese, a fried egg is called "ovo estrelado", which translates to starry egg... it looks like a star... sort of...

Or boil them for less time...depending on how soft you want the yolk... duh

Damn... poca is like the Rachael Ray of AF.org!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Yes, that one! And yeah, I'd totally stalk you if that was the case.

Less time... Well, no shit poca! In all seriousness, I've never managed to get a soft booked egg to turn out as I want it. Either it turns out too hard, or the whites are runny (gag).

Frying and poaching is pretty easy - but sometimes I just want to break open a damn boiled egg and find a perfect runny yolk.

Maybe I'm just fangirling out over here but am I the only one who thinks there should be a Xena remake?

I think it's too soon. Typically it's about 30 years between an original work and its remake. Plus, I don't think it would ever be the same without Lucy Lawless (and to a lesser extent, Renee O'Connor). But I would would be down for a movie if Lucy Lawless was on board with it.
