The Vernal Equinox

For some reason (I don't feel like doing the research to find out why), the first day of spring (a.k.a. the Vernal Equinox) is some sort of perfect gravitational situation where it's possible to get an egg to stand on end. It takes some patience and steady hands, but if you play your cards right you'll be able to do it.

I got six eggs to stand on end simultaneously today, and I've got pics on my phone. As soon as I figure out how to get them to my computer, I'll upload 'em.

I already knew of this, but what I want to know, is who the heck thinks of this stuff in the first place.

You can do that any day of the year.

Interesting! I always figured that the Vernal Equinox was a fluke thing, but I guess this is an everyday thing!
