This experiment comes from a series of news spots that I saw regarding the spring equinox. The equinox occurs on the day when winter changes to spring and when summer changes to fall. There is a persistent story that during the equinox is the only time that you can stand an egg on its end. I did a news search and found hundreds of articles from newspapers and television with stories about this. In reality, the equinox has nothing to do with it and your chances of standing an egg on its end are the same all year round.
