Are you suggesting that everyone should have a balanced diet?

You know I never heard of the egg balancing on the equinox claim before I came on line. It has to be the silliest urban myth out there.

Strange as it may seem, I'd never heard of "egg balancing at the equinox" until I read Badastronomy??!!!

What a sheltered life I must lead...

Issflareman, I'm eggstatic for you! I haven't been able to balance an egg, though I always buy jumbo eggs. Has anyone balanced a jumbo egg?

I've never tried balancing a Jumbo Egg, but medium and large are pretty easy if you have six or seven hours to spend getting it just right.

**Disclaimer: Not all eggs are created equal. Some can't be balanced (or I couldn't do it). Just wait for that special egg to come along. You'll know it when you see it. It will call out to you with a soft and gentle voice. 8-[
