I Threw a Raw Egg Over My House and It Didn't Break (1 Viewer)

Why would your house break from having an egg thrown over it?

 

[eoMMan]

Okay.

 This sounds so much like the kind of stuff we would do when we were bored during summer break around 5th-6th grade.

No one likes Canada.

So I've heard.

Yeah, but yours probably would've broken.

You still throw like a girl?

This was an april fool's thing, right?

Many years ago I was running an egg drop contest with my students.  One of the kids in the class had a farm with chickens and offered to supply eggs for everyone.  We were dropping eggs in various containers and, for the most part, they were all surviving.  Messing around, we decided to throw a few out of the window of my second story classroom onto the grass below.  To my surprise, they weren't breaking.  It turns out they were feeding their chickens oyster shells.  I know now (didn't have a clue then) this is a common practice to supply more calcium to egg laying chickens to prevent calcium deficiency.  It also thickens and strengthens the egg shells which makes them more durable for transport.

Furthermore, if it lands the right way, the force is distributed over greater surface area of the egg which would allow it to withstand greater forces.  Ever try to break one while squeezing it in the palm of your hand?

Like a girl that throws like a grown man!

Not one bit.  Do it.

I didn't do any of this.  I thought it was an April Fools joke by CCC2 to get FBGs everywhere throwing eggs over their houses.  I was just playing along.    Thanks for the likes though.

In a way I guess this was my own little April Fools joke.  The only one of the day.  That's kind of lame.

There's always today.  Mine wasn't a joke.  I did it.

It's the beginning of spring in PA.  The grass is a low, manageable level.

if your fathr in law pulls out the lawnmower, you better lay a backhand on him.

How does this thing work? Do you just launch the thing into orbit to make sure it gets over your house, or do you put some touch on it to keep the elevation down and just barely bend it around your roof?

Glad you asked.

My technique was to put a little touch on the egg.  A flat trajectory and the egg gits with too much force.  Too high of and arc, and the egg picks up too much downward momentum.

I knew the slope of my backyard and wanted to hit about halfway up to cut down on the amount of force during the fall.  It was a gorgeous throw.

I am handsome as phuk.

Phuk Nguyen? He's OK I guess. He'd be better looking if he hadn't stopped going to our aquaerobics class at the Y.

Mr. Chaos2 then made her a sandwich.

Not seeing what’s so special about this.  I just threw an entire carton over my house, one egg was slightly cracked but it’s possible is was like that before I threw it.  I didn’t examine them closely.

This is the type of thread that once made FBG better than awful.  Kudos.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

This is a real thing? :whoosh:  

Apparently.

 

[peaces]

Yeah, that's right, I'm the Egg Man.

Lies!  And to think you got mentioned in my wall jump.

I’m going to try to launch a chicken over my house.
