Egg-celent

In appreciation of life being back to normal, we are maximizing our good times on the weekends. Also, we've been on a stupid diet. stupid, because it doesn't have near enough ice cream in it. JJ has to drop some weight to keep his doctors happy and well, I seem to always want to lose 5 pounds, even though I never do. What that means is that during the week, our house is full of baked chicken and veggies. and water. boo. By the time the weekend hits, we are ready for some sinful food! We woke up on Saturday and went to the gym and did the elliptical for a half hour and then caught the bus downtown for our regular Saturday stop, Pazzo's, for our regular beer and pizza lunch. Then, a short jaunt across the street for our regular Saturday post-pizza wine at Wines on Broadway.
Through the course of an hour or two of wines and jokes and good people having fun, Jen (that gal who's always working there, she's the best) mentioned that Mr. Wizard (some thing from her childhood apparently, I've never heard of him) said that you can't break an egg by squeezing it if you hold it a certain way. Big, strong John says "I bet I can" and the challenge begins......
John stood over the sink just in case he was right and the whole bar crowded around to watch. I had the best seat in the house. ...or so I thought. Mr. Wizard, whoever you are, you are wrong.

Saw one way to do this as a trick by having the trickee not wear a ring and the person doing the trick wearing a ring on the hand doing the crushing. It introduces a pressure point on the shell.

John must just be super-human.
