Supposedly, the vernal and autumnal equinoxes are the only times that this is able to occur. Whether it has to do with the equal amount of day and night, and/or the position of the earth on its axis - I don't know.
Daughter got the first egg standing, then I tried the other eggs in the box. These are local farm fresh eggs, not supermarket commercial eggs - not that that should matter!!!
I tried to line a bunch of the eggs in a row, but invariably, one of the dogs would prance by, the floor would shake, the table would shake, the eggs would fall down!!! So, two was the best I could manage.
This was a double yolk egg!!!!!
But, ya' know.........I think I may just try this again tomorrow - if it doesn't work- then I can dispel the urban legend myth totally!!!
