Eggs are Strong Structures!

We decided after watching an episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy (Structures)  to find out just how strong eggs can be.  So we got out the eggs and started piling on the books.  One egg could hold three: two big and one small.  The next book took it down.  Next we tried three, which spreads out the weight and were able to add much more.  Six books and a rock.  When we added the next rock, it all came tumbling down.  The only thing left to do was smash the remaining eggs, of course!
