The other day I was catching up on my backlog of xkcd web commics and I ran by this little gem that brought back memorys of cub scouts. Every year at day camp the pack would compeat in the egg drop contest, where we would create a contraption and then drop it from a cherry picker and see if the egg inside of it was still whole. Usually our gadget would work so well that the next year they would ban whatever we used, for example one year we had a parashoot… the next year no parashoots etc. Hopefully this will bring as much of a smile to your face as it did to mine</p>
