The Incredible Swimming Egg (=

Do you know eggs don’t float? But some can swim! x)

How it looks?

You drop an egg into a glass of water and ask your friends, “Can anyone make this egg float to the top of the glass? With a pinch of magic potion and some magic words, I will show you how to teach an egg to swim!” Your friends will confuse because they don't know the ways to do it. Haha...

You take out a plastic bag and take a pinch of “magic potion” from it. You sprinkle a few grains of magic potion into the glass while stirring it with your finger. “Now, for the magic incantation. From the depth of this glass filled to the brim, wake up little egg, it is time to swim!” The egg rises to the top due to the stirring, but sinks back to the bottom of the glass.

You add a spoonful more of the magic potion, stir the glass and say the magic words again, louder this time, “From the depth of this glass filled to the brim, wake up little egg, it is time to swim!!” Again, the egg rises and then falls back down.

You add a spoonful more of the magic potion, stir the glass and say the magic words again, louder this time,“From the depth of this glass filled to the brim, wake up little egg, it is time to swim!!” Again, the egg rises and then falls back down. You pour the rest of the bag of potion into the water, stir and scream out, “Swim! Swim!! Swim!!!” This time the egg rises to the top and stays there even after the water stops stirring. You smile and say, “Sometimes it just takes a bit of egg-couragement.” Wonderful!!



What ya need?

• A clear glass of room temperature water (just large enough for an egg to rest on the bottom of the glass)
• 1 egg
  
• Salt (6-10 tablespoons or 90-150 ml)
• Small bag or container (non-transparent – something that you can’t see through)
• Tablespoon
• Adult helper

The ways to do it!

1. Put an egg in that glass full of water! Because of water's density is smaller than egg's density, that egg automatics be sunken in the water.
2. Fill the water with salt little by little!
3. Stir it adagio!
   
4. Still stir it til' all salt actually dissolved.
5. Finally, that egg float on the water. ^o^

How it works?

The “magic potion” is just salt hidden in the plastic bag. When you add salt to the water, you make it heavier, or more dense, than the egg. This is why the egg floats. With a bit of experimenting, you can add just enough salt to make the egg float halfway up the glass.

How amazing was it?

Did you know?

If the egg floats before you add salt to the water, it may not be a fresh egg.
When an egg is first laid, it is warm. As it cools, the contents contract (shrink) and form an air pocket at the large end of the egg. As the egg ages, this air pocket grows in size (air replaces gases that escape through the egg’s pores), making a “lighter” egg that floats!

What do ya think 'bout this?

Hot News... :] Amrozy Cs' Execution

Do ya know the "Trio Bombers" means Amrozi Cs?
Yes, of course ya do!

Amrozi Cs that contain Amrozi (center of tha picture), brotha of Amrozy, Ali Ghufron or Mukhlas (left of tha picture), and Imam Samudra (right of tha picture) have made our beautiful Bali Island damaged especially in the tourism object. In 12 Oct 2008 midnight around Ground Zero, "Bom Bali 1" have made by that "Trio Bombers" make we live in the sadness and scariness. The victims about 410 people. (202 people dead and 209 people hurt). Mostly of the victims are foreigners, especially from Aussie (Australia).
It make Aussie foreigners were afraid go to the Bali if these main terrorists still alive. They didn't want if there is anotha "Bom Bali 2" made by the other terrorists.

What should we do?

We can't do anything, because all of the judgment decided by the judge.
Mostly of people who live in Bali want the judge executed that "Trio Bombers" to make our beautiful Bali safer than before. There were so many problems and obstructions in doing the execution like Amrozi Cs' families didn't agree about this execution with to many reasons. It only make the execution long standing.

Finally, after all doing great (maybe) because Imam Samudra's family didn't want their beloved family (Imam Samudra) die because of this execution, the execution done in 08 November 2008 midnight so that's means 09 November 2008 in the morning.

That was maybe a good news for mostly people who live in Bali, but I have different opinion.
I think if those main terrorists have executed, I'm afraid there will be anotha vengeance from people who support them.

What 'bout ya? Do ya think that's good for us?
