apparently you are not supposed to put eggs in the fridge

and the reason?

egg shells are pourous and the egg itself gets contaminated by the smells inside the fridge

right then, i'll have an eggy egg, but i'll die of salmonella then shall i

anyone here into their chefery and can confirm or deny this? (not the bit about dieing from salmonella, although that's not a risk i'll willing to take, but the egg bit)
