With this latest recall of half billion eggs, if you put it in a giant pan, what would the resultant volume be of one giant omelette using those eggs? Call them all large size.

Using: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_%28food%29#Chicken_egg_sizes

(I'll use 550 Million as the number of recalled eggs, and that is what I read)

46mL * 550000000 = 25300000 L

For comparison, an olympic sized pool is ~ 2.5M L, giving our mega omelette a size of ~10 olympic pools
