I still think the best part of the article is this quote:
Quote:
Mr Spotts said he started balancing eggs in fifth grade when his brother told him it was an easy thing to do on the Equinox – the first day of spring or autumn.
"The day is equal to the night and supposedly the gravity is vertical that day, but it really doesn't make any difference, it doesn't have any effect on the egg," he said.

Ie. he started because of the myth, then found out it IS a myth and kept going anyway.
