Bottle Tricks-Old and New

From the Popular Science Monthly
Ever see a bottle with full-sized
eggs inside? How did they get there?
Simplest thing in the world. If you let
an uncooked egg stand in Vinegar for
about 20 minutes, you can elongate it
enough to get it into small-necked
bottle. Pour in cold water and the egg
will will return TO it's original shape
How do they get q ship inside a bottle?
Another easy trick. The ship is built
outside and then placed in the bottle
through a false bottom. Is there any
thing simpler?
