Egg on my...
Why oh why do I bother sometimes?
I decided to teach my students about the natural strength of arches (it all fit really, if you think about the idea of geology, keystones, caves, and so on). So last period I remember I have some left over eggs from my chemical weathering demonstration adn I decide to demonstrate the strength of the egg by squeezing it in one hand. Unfortunately, this egg must have had small cracks in its shell from age/temperature/etc...so of course just as I mention how strong the egg is, it pops in my hand.
And egg covers my shirt and my class devolves into chaos.
(sigh)
I'm glad it's the weekend.
