Why Eggs can stand?

I Dont know this upto now.there will be scientific reasons i think,for that one day. on particular day of chineese called lap chun (feb 4)egg can stand i think. and on the first day of spring or autumn,u can stand a raw egg on its end. see below information from the link http://nmhong5.blogspot.com/2006/02/how-egg-can-stand.html: nothing special required to make the eggs stand.just when that time arrive(on that lap chun day,just hold an egg and put it on floor.patiencely make it stand.of course it takes time and will not stand immediately as when u place it on the floor.just that simple all u need is ur patience and ur(ketabajan kecekalan)all sorts of things. according to chinese newspaper,there are 2 explanations why the eggs can stand. 1.on this date,the gravity force is much more stronger,which can make the eggs stand,provided u can balance the eggs on the floor well. 2.when u make the eggs in the upright position,the egg yolk will fall down,untill it reach a position,when the egg yolk is balanced and at the right position,than it will stand(something like the humpdy dumpdy things)well this one i dun reallt believe it because when i make my second egg stand within seconds,it already can stand. but below opposite opinion is there in the link http://wiki.answers.com/Q/When_will_an_egg_stand_on_its_end: the time of year does not affect whether they stand on end.it is the texture of the bumps on the eggshell.some eggs can stand on end,but some never will! the whole "equinox" thing is only an urban legend. u can also see the below information from the link http://www.komonews.com/weather/faq/4347256.html The legend appears to stem from a "seasonal gravity." Unlike Dec.21 when the Earth's tilt has us pointed away from the sun,and June21 is when we're tilted the most toward the sun,the equinox dates are when we're exactly in between,& the Earth's tilt is at a 90 degree angle with respect to the sun's light. Some felt that meant the Earth's tilt is zero then,& so with the Earth pointing straight up,that eggs will stand up and not be pulled over by the tilt. But it's all wrong.The equinox just means equal daylight on the planet,& gravity and our tilt is always the same.u can stand an egg on any date--so go try it now!

That's interesting, I've never heard of such a thing. I don't know why that should happen, but I have a strong hunch that it has to do with the equinox and the moon. My thought is that ocean tides react to the stronger phases of the moon, and eggs, being mostly water based, might have the same kind of reaction. It will be interesting to read this later and see if somebody comes up with a scientific reason and logic for this! Curious to what calendar month, and day, is the first day of spring in Malaysia. (Not sure if over here in the US our 'first day of spring' is the same.) I would love to try this and see:-)

I never knew eggs can stand on the first day of spring. That is simply amazing. Learn something new every day.
