Yesterday while riding with some friends to Springfield I was told that due to a planetary alignment that happens only every two hundred years that you could balance an egg on its end and stand a broom upright with out any tricks..

Well I thought that for a minite they were playing a trick on me, but their voices and attitudes said different..

So when I got home I tried it, and to my amazement it worked..

Not only did it work but still does, and it is Friday the 9th of Oct.
First I tried one egg then two and finally four.
I have moved and rebalanced all of them..

Then I tried the broom balancing act. Seems that you have to rotate the broom just right but there it stood.

Later I discovered the eggs had to be rotated to a speficfied position too, turned wrong they just fall over...

Then I got out some coins...

first a nikel, easy as it has square edges. Then a quarter, hard but not impossible. Then a dime, I thoght now way, but in a matter of sconds there it stood..

As of now all the items I balanced remain so.. I have photos and video as proof...

Now I don't know if the planet thing is true, 'cause I ain't no rocket scientist...but I do know that I have never balanced an egg before...
