To keep his focus, your son is dealing with too many other things and might not be prepared, so his task is supposed to keep him reminded.

If the egg is unprotected then wear gloves & transfer the egg to a make shift nest made up of grasses, leaves, ect & keep it warm in the late evening & night with a thick towel. Around 10am if it is about  78degrees or greater remove the towel. after the baby is born worms & insects hunting will be your job\n\nGood luck

Why only one egg for breakfast?\n\nBecause un oeuf is un oeuf.

What makes a man perfect in his carrier? What is he carrying and why does he need to be perfect? Does he work for UPS or Fed Ex and is carrying very fragile packages? I could see why he would have to be careful if carrying fragile packages as a parcel carrier but I don't think he would need to be perfect.\n\nOh wait do you mean CAREER, as in job??????

where does one even find a chamber of mustard gas? what is it for? and why would anyone do anything while pregnant they are uncertain about? i know i was supposed to answer the question, but your question only prompted more questions.

richard is right.\n\nTo boys4ever: How can you have a creature without an egg to hatch it?  Unless, of course, you are suggesting that some chicken like creature gave live birth to the first chicken!

i like gloves .... mine have the wrist wraps. I really like the support when lifting heavy. \nas far as what the other person said about a weight belt giving you good posture.... I feel that weight belts cause more problems with beginners than good. i think many people put on a belt and think that it will prevent them from getting hurt..... simply not true...\nno belt or wrap or glove can protect you more than proper technique.

Everyone must drop a egg from a height and not break the egg. All you can use is rubberbands and straws. So you cover the egg with straws (2 or 3 layers) and tie the ends with the rubberbands .

Try the following Google searches:\n\n\n\n(EDIT: I must say that upon looking at my Google searches, I was surprised that the first few links were about sports teams and not about actual beasts, so I added some criteria to force the search to be more relevant.\n\nAnd for those who say this person's son should be doing this: at least this parent is trying to be involved in his/her child's education. Perhaps his/her son is doing research elsewhere or working on other homework.)

Don't you think it all goes back to the parents, and how they raised their child?  Obviously, since your son is still alive, you, yourself, are on the right track.  RAISE UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO, AND HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT.  Does that sound familiar?  That's exactly what you have done, and I congratulate you for it!

I would wrap the egg in your 1 foot of bubble wrap trying to get an even thickness of bubble wrap on every side of the egg.  Then I'd make a big parachute out of black trash bags and tape.

It doesn't say that the egg has to land on the concrete pavement!  Only that it is dropped 5 feet above a concrete pavement!  So I suppose you could have 5 feet of mattresses and lift the egg up about an inch or so and drop it down onto the mattresses, so that it was actually being dropped "5 feet above a concrete pavement without it breaking and without catching it"!\n\nBasically a play on words as this is:\n\nJUMP TABLES: Bet a bunch of friends that you can put three tables together, take your shoes and socks off and jump over them. They'll be anxious to bet that you can't. Take the bet money in hand then proceed to push the three tables together, take off your shoes and socks and jump over the shoes and socks. Then pick up your stuff and run as fast as you can!\n\nOr (with props the below):\n\nI would go with this: "The winning entry used "Rice Krispies" breakfast cereal in sandwich bags to enclose their egg."\n\n"Our technical support dept received the following question about dropping eggs:\n"I have been searching your web pages trying to find out how I can drop a regular raw egg off a roof without it breaking. Years ago I did this in a physics class, but cannot remember what I did. There is nothing in your web pages regarding this. My 7 yr. old grandson and I would like to do it. Could you help ?"\n\nNormally we can only answer questions related to our products, but we felt this question deserved a reply. To get a broad range of replies we asked the readers of our e-mail newsletter for help. \nSome of the answers we received\nGet an egg-eating snake, give it the egg and wait until the egg is about half way down the snake, then fit the snake with tail flights (cf a dart), then drop said snake plus egg from bridge etc.. The front of the snake will act as a crumple zone, thereby protecting the egg (makes a mess of the snake, but that is outside the parameters of the experiment) Then cut open the snake and remove the egg (snake already deceased, so this is no longer an ethical problem)\n\nIts really quite simple- can't imagine how he's forgotten that he dropped it while it was still inside the hen! Just make sure it's not a hen with clipped wings-specially if the roof is high...... \n\nTheory has it that, given sufficient height, aerodynamics will cause the egg to align itself to land on the blunter of the two ends. The egg is remarkably strong in this orientation. As long as it falls onto a reasonably forgiving surface, a lawn maybe, it won't break - sometimes!\nSafer bet is for Grandad to drop a hard boiled one and palm his stunned Grandson a raw one. \n\nI recently dropped an egg from a roof-top and was able to achieve a drop of some 15 metres without the egg breaking. How? The roof was 16 metres from the ground. It was that last metre that always did the damage.\n\nHold the egg carefully in your hands and jump off the roof. \nPut the egg in the middle of a 1 foot square styrene block. \nTake the roof off, sit it on the ground and roll the egg of the edge of the roof next to the ground. \nImmerse the egg in liquid nitrogen first \nFit the egg with a parachute. \n\nIt's really very simple, the clue is to spread all the force during the retardation phase (landing) on the COMPLETE surface of the egg. In this way, the resulting (vector) forces will be zero. In other words: The forces will "become a pressure" instead. And, since the egg may be compared to a pressure vessel (the surface is curved and can thus take really a lot of pressure before breaking) the egg will not break if you put it in strong bottle filled with water before dropping it!\n\nThis is the classical solution to the problem. I have never worked it out myself but it should work as long as the bottle itself is strong enough (do a test by dropping the bottle filled with just water before doing the test in front of an audience).\n\ncenter the egg in a nylon stocking. \nstretch

This sounds sort of like a science project our class did when I was in 8th grade.  We didn't THROW the eggs, but dropped them from the top of the football bleachers to the ground below.  Each student had to come up with their own way, and were graded according to how well they did.  If you're THROWING the egg, then my idea won't help, but if you're dropping it, it protected my egg and earned me an A+ for egg-survivibilty and creativity.\n\nI took a small container of acne wipes (like clearsil or Oxy Pads, but I used the Avon brand pads), emptied it out, and cut a hole in the lid just big enough for a cut-out from a styrofoam egg package to stick out on top.  (Just the same that ONE egg sits on.)  This made a "helmet" for my egg to poke through the top.  Then I lined the bottom of the container with fluffy cotton balls so the egg sat in there nice and cozy.  If there is room to move, it will be more likely to break.\n\nNext I filled up several ballons with helium and attached them to the container, all around in a circle so I will float down gently without spinning or turning upside down.  Can't remember how many it took, but just enough so it floats down SLOWLY, not not so many that it will float away!  I think I found out how many it took to make it float, then minus one.  On the day we dropped the eggs, mine was one of the few survivors, floating gracefully down.  When I retrieved it, I just unscrewed the lid and there was my egg, safe and sound.  :)\n\nOh, and 3 guys tried stuffing it in a pillow, but they all went SPLAT.  So that's not a good way, from what I've witnessed at least.\n\nGood luck, and I hope this helped!

i'm glad to hear of your sons interest in mixed martial arts. it is good to know there is another group of younger people ready to come up, along with myself. i would tell you though that the best way is to start small. get him into one of the smaller organizations to get started with so that he can get noticed. uncooked promotions is a great place to start. and they have an application to fight on their website if you think he is ready right now.that would be my suggestion for your first place to go.

"Don't teach Granny to suck eggs."\nThe story behind this expression is that you can punch a hole in both ends of a raw egg and suck out the insides. When a child learns this, it's the kind of thing the child wants to teach to someone else, especially Granny, but the reality is that Granny already knows about it. Perhaps one measure of Granny's skill at Granniness is how much enthusiasm she can display while 'learning' about and eating raw eggs. \nThe metaphoric meaning is that Granny is already an expert as far as egg-sucking is concerned, and experts get kind of bored when someone is trying to teach them something they already know quite well. I see it as a sort of admonition to pay attention to the audience, and just because something is new or interesting to you, doesn't mean it will have any appeal or relevance to someone else.\n\nAs a parenthetic side note, the Japanese really do eat raw eggs pretty often, though without going through the trouble of punching holes in the shell and all that stuff. They just break the shell and pour it into the food or sometimes into a special bowl, where it is used sort of like a sauce or dip.

What kind of amazon are you hanging around with, that can tote an 11 yr old kid on her shoulders all day? The kid has two legs, I assume, suggest that he walk, if the kid doesn't walk, maybe you should.

Well, while I don't want to do your physics project for you (I did this one myself so I know what works and what doesn't), the basic thing you need to consider is not protecting the shell, but reducing the IMPULSE on the shell - you know what IMPULSE is right?\n\nIMPULSE is change in momentum over time:\n\nI = (M_start - M_end) / time\n\nSo say you have a car with a momentum of 2000, and it hits a brick wall, and the collision takes 0.2 seconds.  The impulse on the car is\n\nI = (2000 - 0) / 0.2 = 10000 kg*m/s^2 (which you may recognize as a unit of force, or NEWTON)\n\nSo you might be able to find out what the impulse necessary to break an eggshell is, but I would suggest simply trying to find a method to reduce that impulse.\n\nSo you have two ways to reduce the IMPULSE on the egg:\n\n1.  Reduce the change in momentum.  How do you do that?  Momentum is mass X velocity, so since the egg's mass is probably fixed, you would want to reduce the falling velocity of the egg - think parachute or some other method of 'floating' so it doesn't fall at full speed.\n\n2.  Increase the amount of time it takes for the egg to hit the ground.  This may sound hard to do, but think about something like falling through soft cotton stuffing - the egg will move through the stuffing, slowing down as it does, and hopefully if you design it right, the egg will stop sliding through the stuffing before it hits the ground.\n\nSo there you go.  When I did this, I used the stuffing approach because our teacher prohibited any kind of floatation devices (essentially ruling out Method 1), but my egg broke because I packed the stuffing too tightly.
