Science 101

Posted on March 20, 2009 | 4 Comments

Today I put on the lab coat and nerdy glasses.

I saw on the Today Show this morning that Al Roker was demonstrating that you can balance an egg on end today, since it’s the Vernal Equinox.

Yeah.

Just in case you were uninformed about the truth of this, let me just set the record straight: you can do this ANY DAY OF THE YEAR.

There’s nothing special about the Vernal Equinox as far as egg-balancing is concerned.

Thank you for your time.

And now, back to the usual twaddle.

    Cute kid.

    Hey, I just commented on your comment on James Lileks’ Bleat, talking about the New Yorker 25th Anniversary cartoon compendium. Good on ya!

    Thanks Mr. Wizard. I never heard of such nonsense but I am glad you cleared it up.
