Oh well, a funny story about Columbus, the italian explorer, well known
in the US too, of course. The story goes that people sitting and
trinking around a table were trying to figure out a way to have a whole
egg stand upright on the table.
Columbus came out with a *clever*, *very simple* way to achieve that.
There are (at least) two different versions of the story however:
1- If you shake very strongly an egg, without breaking it, however, the
red relaxes from the middle where is latched normally, and falls down,
then the center of gravity becomes much lower and the egg may actually
stand upright like a russian Matrioska does (*very* cool, if true, never
tried myself).
2- Alternately, much *less* elegant but still funny, you can just hit
slightly the table with the bottom of the egg, making it flat without
breaking it (works, definitely)
