Walking on Eggs
Can you walk across eggs without cracking them?

The phrase “walking on eggshells” is an idiom that is often used to describe a situation in which people must tread lightly around a sensitive topic for fear of offending someone or creating a volatile situation. Literally walking on eggshells would require exceptional caution, incredible skill, and a sense ofself-control that would be nothing short of amazing. But what if eggs were really much stronger than most of us imagine? What if nature’s design of the incredible edible egg was so perfect that the thin, white outer coating of an egg was strong enough to withstand the weight of your body? Wake the kids! Phone the neighbors! It’s time for the Walking on Eggshells challenge.

*Materials
* A few dozen eggs that are in egg cartons (Select large-sized eggs)
* Large plastic trash bag
* Bucket of soap and water (and some disinfectant) 
* Barefoot friends
Note: There’s a very high probability that you’ll break a few eggs while attempting to learn this amazing trick. Since raw eggs carry the danger of Salmonella, it’s important that you clean up, wash yourhands, and disinfect the area. Even if you don’t break an egg, it’s still a good idea to wash your hands (and feet!) after handling eggs. 
* Experiment

1. If you just want to attempt the feat of standing on eggs, you’ll only need two cartons of eggs (two dozen eggs). If, however, you’re feeling up to the Walking on Eggs challenge, pick up six or eight cartons of large-sized eggs.
2.Spread the plastic trash bag (or bags) out on the floor and arrange the egg cartons into two rows.
3. Inspect all of the eggs to make sure there are no breaks or fractures in any of the eggshells. Make any replacements that might be necessary.
4. It’s important to make sure all of the eggs are oriented the same way in the cartons too. One end of the egg is more “pointy” while the other end ismore round. Just make sure that all of the eggs are oriented in the same direction. By doing this, your foot will have a more level surface on which to stand.
5. Remove your shoes and socks . . . and pick the lint out from between your toes. (This has no bearing on the success of the challenge, but let’s face it, toe fuzz is kind of gross.)
6. Find a friend to assist you as you step up ontothe first carton of eggs. The key is to make your foot as flat as possible in order to distribute your weight evenly across the tops of the eggs. If the ball of your foot is large, you might try positioning it between two rows of eggs instead of resting it on the top of an egg. 
7. When your foot is properly positioned, slowly shift all of your weight onto the egg-leg as you position yourother foot on top of the second carton of eggs.
8. There will be creaking sounds coming from the egg carton, but don’t get nervous. Ask your friend to step away and allow your fans to click pictures. Just think . . . for all the right reasons, you’ll be an Internet sensation in just minutes.
9. If you have more than two cartons of eggs, what are you waiting for? Keep walking! The cheers andwild screams from your fans grow louder with each step you take until finally you land on firm ground and marvel at your success. 
Okay, there’s a second scenario that we should mention: you forget to make your foot as flat as possible, your friend doesn’t provide any support, and your foot crushes through eight of the twelve eggs. As the goo erupts from between your toes, you think to yourself,“Maybe the other carton will be better.” Quickly you discover that both feet are covered in eggy goo and the experiment is a complete failure. Don’t worry, your fans are still taking pictures and you’re still going to be an Internet sensation, but for a completely different reason. Ah, show business!
How does it work?
Plain and simple, the shape of the egg is the secret! The egg’s unique shape...
