One truism about eggs: nobody likes a rotten one. Which of the following is a good way to tell if an egg you're about to eat is too old, and should be discarded?

As eggs age, they got more and more porous, meaning more air has been allowed to permeate the shell and get inside the egg. If the egg floats, it means it's old and has a large air pocket, in which case you should probably forego eating it.
