- shade45, on 09/21/2008, -3/+13I hadn't heard that egg myth before now.. Cool.
- SwiftKick34, on 09/21/2008, -3/+10The shadows are wrong.
- BadAstronomer, on 09/21/2008, -2/+8*MY* face? COMMON?
Oh, on the site. Well, yeah. - Sfoggari, on 09/21/2008, -5/+11Hey APOD people,
I am sure you can be a bit more imaginative and original! this is the same as in 2003 autumnal equinox. I have noticed that this is not the first time of repetition. Now, if there is a special reason for a repeat, that is fine, just say so and why ...we APOD fans are a bit more demanding and that is your doing: you have us used to higher standards! - k7jeb, on 09/21/2008, -2/+7Oh, wow, do they have egg on their faces or what?
Speaking of faces, it's nice to be able to put one on the Bad Astronomer at last. - taketheleap, on 09/21/2008, -2/+7I just cracked 34 eggs trying this...
You lied to me APOD!
... or maybe I just suck. - V3NOM, on 09/21/2008, -2/+5I just tried balancing an egg. Only took 30 seconds. Really not that hard.
- tacojohn48, on 09/22/2008, -1/+4The myth is that it only works on the equinox. In reality it can be done any day with enough patience.
- Niightwitch, on 09/22/2008, -1/+3He balanced them in late October, Halloween. What the astronomers failed to realize is that eggs can be balanced on end only at the equinoxes and on Halloween.
- MadEnvoy, on 09/22/2008, -1/+2Mmmm. Bacon.
- tacojohn48, on 09/22/2008, -1/+2But the myth is already busted.
- subwoffers, on 09/21/2008, -2/+3You can do this any day of the week, take the egg out of the fridge and swing it in a circle till the yoke settles at the bottom. We busted this one back in 4th grade.
- mst3kcrow, on 09/22/2008, -2/+3Egg trifecta now in play.
- Sfoggari, on 09/21/2008, -2/+2try 21 Sept. 2003
- MicrosoftBob, on 09/22/2008, -1/+1Why do you keep your bread on top of the phone books (that are on top of the refrigerator?)
We must know this mystery. - marjo9, on 09/22/2008, -2/+2this isn't ebay
- tylerwest70, on 09/21/2008, -2/+2How have you not seen what he looks like over the years?
His face is very common on his website. - frank79796, on 09/22/2008, -1/+1Phil Plait looks like me in my kitchen, but his name sounds like an eating disorder. Sorry Phil-if I knew you we would probably be drinking buddies, but that was just too good to pass up.
- tacojohn48, on 09/22/2008, -1/+1I heard about this when in high school. Our teacher offered extra credit for anybody who could do it.
- AgmLauncher, on 09/22/2008, -1/+1If this is what they do for an equinox, I'd hate to know what they're planning for April Fool's
- themastersb, on 09/22/2008, -1/+1They better work fast since according to the myth, tomorrow is their only chance.
- specialbuddy1, on 09/22/2008, -2/+1Yeah well the truth is you can do this any time of the year.
- ToastedToaster, on 09/22/2008, -2/+1I took the last 2 eggs out of the carton, and balanced them in under a minute

- antigravit42, on 06/14/2009, -2/+1haha I was wondering if balancing eggs is all it takes to be on APOD
- Sfoggari, on 09/21/2008, -4/+2do u hv their number? e-mail?
- Metoo41, on 09/21/2008, -4/+1Do you know the Columbus egg? Go on Google....:-))
- Synova, on 09/21/2008, -7/+3That's what she said.
http://www.instantrimshot.com/ - rick2k, on 09/21/2008, -8/+4Wow awesome image, A+++, Will come again.
- ligyron, on 09/21/2008, -7/+2First of all, tomorrow is autumnal equinox, not today. Secondly, the article clearly states that it's just a myth
