Sep 19 2007Geltec Beta Gel Is Pretty Amazing
The video shows a raw egg being dropped from 72 feet and landing on a small pad of Geltec's Beta Gel. The egg doesn't break. It's amazing. And it's from a Japanese show, which makes it that much better. Although I think having a person jump off would have been a tad more impressive, I'm still not complaining. Where the hell was this stuff when we had the egg drop contest in grade school? Well, I guess it wouldn't have mattered anyways because my fat lab partner kept eating all the eggs they gave us. You know, I wonder what Miranda Big Stuff is up to these days.

Miranda Big Stuff got her name by letting loose the largest flatus you've ever heard. I guess all those eggs didn't cooperate with her digestive system.

He does the old switcheroo. He has a real egg palmed in his left hand, and after throwing the fake egg on the pad a few times, he switches it for the real egg right before breaking it into the bowl. Watch it a few times, you will see for yourself.

Why aren't you actually linking the source of that video? I don't see gizmoto's url in the video description on YouTube. Is it so hard to properly credit sources?
