Autumnal Equinox

[Dave]

So it falls on September 23rd. I've heard rumors that you can balance an egg in it's upright position during the Autumnal and Vernal equinoxes (sp?). Has anyone ever tried this?

Well, on to more important news, the weather has turned cooler. so... watch out.

It can be done, you just have to cheat to do it. :whistling:

I’ve heard stories and I’ve never tried this for reasons that will become apparent :blush: , but I believe it’s possible.

Take a small syringe and fill it full of mercury. Then gently puncture the top of the egg and inject the mercury until the egg balances up right.

It's possible every day of the year... just nobody tries it except on the Equinoxes ...

Don't know. But I can tell you I've got my moon cakes and I'm ready!
