Walking on eggs

December 18, 2008 by dberenstein

 

It's not as hard as it looks

It's not as hard as it looks!

I’m in a mood today. I have a slow internet connection and all of you should be walking on eggs in my presence. As the picture above shows, I have been able to do that in the past.

 

Any reply to this post that I don’t fancy shall be deleted without comment.

    Did you succeed on your first attempt, or are there fields of broken eggs as a result of improper load balancing?

    (Wonders what kind of eggs they are …)

    Hi Yoo:

    These are ostrich eggs, and I succeeded at first attempt. For chicken eggs I would need a fancy contraption to distribute my weight.

    I think it would be funnier if such a field of broken eggs was out there, somewhere….

    Place the chicken egg long axis vertical in a cushioned lower cradle. Soft sole shoe applied with care. One quality egg will borderline support a 120 lb person. Four, two to each foot, are all that are needed.

    If you’ve ever been up close and personal, so to speak, with an adult ostrich you will know how big they are! I sure wouldn’t want to be in your shoes if the mother of those eggs sees you doing that!
