Spring Has Sprung

Today (18:26 UTC or 11:26 MST, to be more precise) marks the first day of spring, astronomically speaking, where the longer nights of winter give way to the longer days of summer, though day and night aren’t exactly equal on the equinox. Many celebrations surround this seasonal milestone called the Vernal Equinox, where life is seen triumphing over death. Oh, and as for the "fact" that the spring equinox is the only time that a raw egg can be balanced on end; it has NOTHING to do with "Special Spring Gravity"!
