First answer is correct.
In the U.S. - USDA requires eggs to be washed, side effect of that is it removes a protective film on the outside of the shell that keep bacteria from getting into the eggs.
If you do not refrigerate them, they will spoil quicker, and you are risking bacterial infection.
Having said that, when you use eggs for baking - they should be room temperature - not cold.
