Up until now, despite numerous attempts to discover who was behind the massive internet stunt, his identity remained a mystery. The egg gave interviews under various egg-related pseudonyms but we didn't know the name of the human who thought the whole thing up. 

Mashable's reporting identified Godfrey as the egg's creator several weeks ago, but we held the story because Godfrey told Mashable he did not wish to go public. Today, ahead of the Super Bowl, BuzzFeed ran a piece identifying Godfrey, confirming the details of our reporting.
