eggs'n'tomatoes

["Philipp Zuercher" <zurrigo@hotmail.com>]

I don't really know if I get the point but I think it must be a sunday 
morning phenomenon to start talking about eggs and tomatoes because they 
will be part of one of these highly appreciated high-fat-low-fiber meals 
we 
tend to call Irish breakfast over here in Switzerland.

Anyway...the only method to tell the difference between a boiled and a 
soft 
egg I know of is the following:

Lay down the egg at the center of a big table, so it can't fall down to 
the 
floor - still better: put it on the floor, unless it turns out to be too 
sticky for the experiment. Now grab it between two fingers and the thumb 
and 
spin it right round.

The boiled egg will keep on spinning and the soft one will stop spinning 
after one or two turns. It really works but I don't know if you would call 
the method a scientific one.

I don't know much of tomatoes but there is some other illegal weed stuff 
growing on my balcony...

The whole thing makes me think of a really scientific method to check if a 
Stradivarius is real or fake. My violin making teacher once proposed, when 
there was one of those really old, really expensive Italian fiddles lying 
on 
our workbench, to burn it and analyse the ashes using the C-16 method.

Enough is enough, enjoy your Irish breakfast and the rest of your sunday
