Egg On My Face
Watching Penn & Teller a week or two ago, xyon and I saw a segment where people tried and failed to crush an egg by exerting pressure from the two pointy (well, pointier) ends. Being unable to break an egg had us both enamored.
Last night, I needed an egg for dinner-making. But first: can I get the shell to crack by putting a finger at each end and squeezing?
Answer: no. It works! Or, um, it doesn't work.
Then I had the bright idea to try the egg shortways. Surely, it should be difficult to smush, but not impossible. So, xyon tries it...and egg goes shooting out the ends (after a few moments of pressure).
It got all over the floor, the kitchen counters and drawers, my sweater, xyon's hair, and (of course) my face.
