I heard it for the first time, and very
recalling, in K-drama “Plus Nine Boys” Standing
Egg is an indie band that played cameo as themselves in episode 8.
Not so long afterwards, I caught another ‘standing egg’ while watching Running Man episode 238.
It’s different from “Egg of Columbus”. My dad often played it when I was a kid. He would take a boiled egg and asked if he could make the egg stand. Sure I was very curious because it looked impossible to make that round egg to stand. Then my dad would tap the egg gently on the table while shouting “Telur Columbus!”. Tada! The egg stands by breaking it slightly. That’s exactly what Columbus did to his challengers when they looked down on Columbus’s discovery of the Indies.

Egg Balancing - In
1947, the physicist Ukichiro Nakaya verified
experimentally that eggs in fact can be balanced. The shell of an egg usually has many small bumps and dimples
so that, by turning the egg in different directions, it can be made to touch a
flat surface on three points at the same time in many ways. Standing an egg is not impossible. Quote: try a little harder, be more patient, and use steadier hands. Belated Happy Easter ^^ |
