Which Came First, the Chicken or the...Refrigerator?

Huh, cool. I've wondered about this, too, though only vaguely and in passing, I admit:

"Americans – why do you keep refrigerating your eggs?" (Or, Why do Americans refrigerate chicken eggs, when almost no one else in the world does?)

(By the by, in Germany, just because Germany always has to have even more regulations than everyone else, a carton of eggs comes stamped with two "best before" dates – the first one is how long you can safely leave the eggs unrefrigerated, and the second is how much longer after that you can still keep the eggs, if you refrigerate them.)
