Eggs are less likely to crack when dropped on their side, according to science
NEW YORK — Eggs are less likely to crack when they fall on their side, according to experiments with over 200 eggs.
What does this mean for the best way to crack an egg for breakfast ? Not much, since a break around the middle is the best way to get the golden yolk and runny whites to ooze out.

Hundreds run across iconic Mobile bridge to help Africatown
MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — An iconic bridge got some extra attention Saturday as hundreds of people jogged in the Africatown 7th Annual Bridge Challenge 5K. A flood of people powered through the starting line, hoofing their way around the corner and ultimately to the other side of the Cochrane–Africatown Bridge. 'I just think it's beautiful up here in the morning and just to go over the top of the city,' runner Tom Hoffman said. The run has turned into a tradition, with the highlight being a view that you can't quite get if you're driving over the bridge. 'You can see a lot of the ships out there and just the immediate surroundings. It's kind of therapeutic if you don't notice the traffic. But yeah, it's very beautiful up there,' runner Joseph Barrow said. The run raises money for the Africatown Community Development Corporation, which in turn spends it in the community through various projects aimed at helping the people who live here. 'It keeps our community going,' Thelma Owens with the Africatown Community Development Corporation said. 'It helps us to help our seniors, and if we've got our seniors and our children come, the children keep the community alive.' It's a long walk up and over the bridge to see the Mobile River from a new angle. 'All ages can roll from the babies in their moms' baby strollers to the oldest,' Owens said. The chance to see the city from this vantage point is not something most people can do safely without cones and police blocking a lane of traffic, a safe way to explore an iconic bridge outside of a car.
