In my college Physics class, I had an Chinese professor.  He walked in one
day (in the Spring sometime), and announced that it was a special Chinese
holiday on which an egg could be stood on end.  He stood up about 3 eggs
and then proceeded with the lecture.  Sometime later in the month I
succeeded in standing an egg on its end.  It was not an equinox at the time.
I think it has to do with luck and magic fingers myself.
