This, as is the case with the last thread I started, has nothing to do with how horny I am, how horny my roommate is, or my lack of a sex life. Sorry, matt_mcl
Anyway. So punhasister1, a 17-year-old senior with some wacky friends, informs me that her friend Bruce’s physics teacher said it takes 170 lbs of pressure to either end of an egg to break said egg. So my father goes and breaks one, and I think it took him about three seconds. His wasn’t as flat as mine, which tells me he could tell it was breaking and stopped.
So I go into the kitchen with a (cooked) easter egg and place it between my wrists, sorta on my palms but not exactly. Ends in place and such. And after about five seconds of pushing, suddenly there’s this great big “PLACK!” and the thing goes flat as a pancake.
Now, I’m not exactly Steve Urkel here. I’d like to believe my arms (and upper body in general) possess some measurable and significant amount of strength. But is this guy’s teacher for real? Does it actually take 170 lbs of pressure? Is that per square inch, or overall?
Have any of the rest of y’all done this? Scylla? Other reasonably strong dopers?
And have I lost my mind with wanting to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for most eggs broken in 30 seconds using my wrists/palms?
