I am currently reading "Bad Astronomy", by Philip C Plait. So far a good Myth debunking book. One of the things you always hear is how you can only stand an egg on end during the spring equinox. This is completely false you can stand eggs on end anytime. In fact I did one just recently. See attached pic. Try it, this may take a few tries but you can balance an egg. No salt, that's cheating.

Ebay Rant!
Posted by
Bill Buck
This is just a short rant about what happened to Ebay! What used to be a good web auction application for individuals selling second hand items has turned commercial. As far as I am concerned they can do away with the Buy It Now! feature and send their Ebay Stores packing. If I want to shop at a store, I will use Amazon or some other internet outlet. When I go to Ebay I expect an auction not a storefront. Most of the Ebay listings are now just online merchants listing items at an opening price comparable to a market value. The auction is long since dead on Ebay.
