I heard of a news item about the equinoctial egg effect this past
equinox. Somebody in New York put on a demonstration or something.
The idea, to repeat, is that eggs will stand on end more easily for
some few moments around the equinox.

I feel competent to state that there is absolutely no physical effect
which is even a candidate for explaining such a phenomenon. If I'm wrong
it won't be the first time I got egg on my face, but I think this one
can be classified with the razor sharpening pyramids.
