Quoted:
The shape of the egg, as I was told, distributed the forces around so that no matter how hard you squeezed it wasn't possible for you to crush an egg with your bare hands. My father, to demonstrate this, made a great show of attempting to crush an egg. He squeezed and squeezed until he was red in the face, at times using both hands to get a better grip. He then handed me the egg to try myself. No matter how hard 6 year old me tried, I couldn't crush the egg. Many years later I am in the kitchen with my girlfriend and remember this little tidbit. After explaining the science to her, I grab an egg and -remembering my father from so many years before- crank down on this egg as hard as I possibly could. It exploded. I stood there, mangled egg in my hand and egg sputum spread across the kitchen, wondering wtf just happened. I called him to talk about what happened, and his response was: "Yeah, I wondered if that was ever going to pay off." Bastard I did the exact same thing like 12 years ago with my girlfriend, now wife, watching. Egg on the ceiling, wall, everywhere. |

Until you can crush a potato, you have a weak grip.

Too funny OP. Thanks for posting. I'm going to do the same to my son when the time comes.
Out of curiosity, was the egg he handed you doctored? I would think I could have crushed one at six, but never tried... Wondering if I need to do for the egg first or not. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I keep laughing at this thread, but mostly because you guys are a bunch of dumb asses.
The "unbreakable egg" thing is a common demonstration of homespun "farm science" and has been for a long time. It demonstrates the strength of the egg on the long axis. If you are physically coordinated and visually accurate enough to put pressure with reasonable accuracy on the long axis of the egg, you will not break the egg. The OP's dad's egg wasn't "doctored," the egg trick isn't a "long con," it just sounds like the OP failed to replicate the test because he squeezed the egg unevenly or across the short axis of the egg when he tried it. No shit it broke, the design feature strengths of the egg shell should be obvious even to a child of normal intelligence. Go in your kitchen, get an egg, hold it over your sink. Put the round "bottom" of the egg on your thumb, place the pointed "top" of the egg under your index (or middle, or both) finger. Squeeze as hard as you can. As long as you are coordinated enough to keep the force on a straight line between the "poles" of the egg, it won't break. You can do it between the palms of your hands too, but be extra careful to keep the applied force straight and even. The egg won't break, if you do the trick correctly. Its old-school farm physics at work, grandpa knew this shit, its hilarious that GD doesn't. |

Those who told you that were wrong. I can crush an egg one handed heck I can do it with my thumb and forefinger on both ends. There are people that are even better at it than I am.
I can crush a beer/soda can with two hands so that it explodes. About 10 years ago I could squeeze the content out of a beer/soda can one handed although it wouldn't explode. Did I mention I can bend nails, rip phone books, tear decks of cards in half, crush an apple with one hand, crush a potato with one hand. Granted I haven't done any of these in at least 3 years but my hands dyno high enough I'm pretty sure I can still do it. |
