Playing with Eggs


There was this article in yesterday's newspaper:
FML!  I don't read chinese, as I did not come from a chinese school.  But Beary does.... and the article was about the miracle of the first dawn of spring.
Here's what I found from Wikipedia which matches closely to what the article said:
"The terms Li Chun egg balancing or egg of Li Chun refers to a Chinese folk belief that it is much easier to balance an egg on a smooth surface during Li Chun (the official first day of spring in the Chinese lunar calendar, which usually falls on February 4 or 5), than at any other time of the year. Balancing fresh chicken eggs on their broad end was a traditional Li Chun ritual in China".
The article had other terms and terminologies described.  But I'm not gonna dwell on that.  I like to simplify things and hence to self praise myself on the simplified version found by me *n_n.

So, just for fun sake, Beary tested the theory and..................................... VOILA!! 
Have not tested on any other days though.  
Have fun ♥ .

  3. Don't know how true the belief is, but it does feel more difficult to balance the egg today i.e. 6th Feb.
