Did you feel any different at 12:48am EST? Feel like the laws of physics changed?
A nasty rumor that resurfaces every year when the vernal equinox rolls around (the vernal equinox marking the beginning of spring and characterized by equal parts day and night). The rumor states that you can stand a raw egg on its end today and today only. Is gravity so misunderstood that it's conceivable it can change the rules on us for a single day? Even if this were true, why only eggs? Why not eggplants? Or pickles? And why not on the autumnal equinox too? Fact is, gravity is the same today as it always was; perhaps it just needs a better public relations campaign.
In actuality, you can stand an egg on its end any day of the week, month, or year. Try it. This guy sure did!
Now, go smell the flowers and celebrate spring the old fashioned way.

So then is it a myth that it's easier to balance an egg on end at the equator? I did that in Ecuador at the equator and I felt so special. Are they going to take my certificate away?
