Why do people insist on the old belief that you can only stand eggs on their ends during the spring equinox? Because if enough people believe in something, it just HAS to be true!

In an attempt to dispel this erroneous idea, the members of my Astronomy/Bad Science class decided to tempt fate, tease nature and laugh in the face of convention. They stood eggs on their ends just to prove that you don't have to wait for the calendar to catch up with a good idea.

No mysticism. No special effects. Most importantly, no rubber cement on the bottoms of the eggs! Just good old fashioned, brute determination, patience and a light touch.

The Iron Man award goes to Robert Arcaro who was able to get eight, count em 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 eggs to stand when others scoffed at the idea!

Take a look.
