I stood an egg today. That's an ordinary raw egg, still cold from the refrigerator, nothing done to the egg, on an ordinary plate, nothing done to the plate. (I use a plate because it wants a smooth surface, and if it falls and rolls, the lip will keep it from hitting the floor.)"Experts" will tell you there's nothing special about equinox and eggs, that you can stand an egg at any time of the year.
I've been doing it for 40 years, and I'll tell you that there IS a difference at the equinox, for a few days before and after. It took me only about 10 seconds to get that egg standing. Any other time of the year you have to prop the egg up for a while to let the yolk center and settle, and it'll take a long time and super delicate touch, and even then not every egg will stand.
At the spring equinox, ANY egg will stand almost immediately, as long as there are no calcium bumps on the bottom. In good years I've even stood them on the pointy ends. They'll also stand at the fall equinox, but it's a bit more difficult, the window is smaller, and they don't stay up as long. I've tried standing them midyear. Doesn't work. Sorry "experts". True.
So there. You are challenged.
