You know it's not true. As the legend goes, an egg can be made to balance only on the Spring Equinox, also known as the Vernal Equinox.
It's great for keeping the kids occupied with something other than video games. I take great joy in giving the kids something to do that keeps them quiet and busy at the same time. As long as everyone can be hosed down afterwards, its all fun!
The Vernal Equinox is the moment when the sun is positioned directly above our equator, giving us all an equal period of day and night. The Spring Equinox is great for us lucky folk in the Northern Hemisphere because the days are about to get longer than the nights (yay!) If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, March 20th marks the Autumnal Equinox and the beginning of fall.
At 8:07 Eastern Daylight Savings Time, the opportunity exists to send our kids to the kitchen to try and balance an egg without any props. No forks, spoons, knives allowed. Only eggs.
May you enjoy the ensuing omlette.
