Sure, but that's being retrospectively choosy about the accuracy standards of the statement.

Both could be said to have pitted surfaces, both are three-dimensional, both have hard shells and various layers of different materials on the inside. Wow, now that you mention it, the earth is a lot like an ostrich egg.

Looking at it another way, if it was just meant that they were both spheroids, why specifically an ostrich egg? Why not something more closely comparable to what the earth is actually shaped like?
