		When power was applied in sequence to the coils, the complex magnetic field arrangement not only inductively created a high-spin on the egg, it also made it stand up on end -- appearing to resist gravity.

		When all their attempts fail, Columbus takes the egg, lightly cracks the shell at one of the poles and stands it on end, telling them that it's easy "Yes, when I've shown the way".

	Ground and Sky review - L'Uovo di Colombo - self-titled
		L'Uovo di Colombo's name means "The egg of Columbus." It is a common phrase in Europe, referring to the story that Christopher Columbus discovered the fact that if an egg sinks in water it is still fresh.
		This is useful knowledge on a ship, and was one of the things that enabled him to make a succesful Atlantic crossing.
		So when Europeans say "That's the egg of Columbus," they mean "That's the key piece of knowledge that will make this project possible." The only reason I mention this is to avoid the rather stale opening "L'Uovo di Columbo are yet another one-shot band that produced one good album, then sank without a trace."
