Breaking the Wishbone - How to Win

The folks over at Michigan Engineering did some modeling, 3D scanning, and experimentation to tell us how to win at the age-old Thanksgiving game of breaking the wishbone. According to the folks over at aaepa.com, the tradition is much older than Thanksgiving, dating back over 2400 years to cultures that believed that birds were capable of telling us the future. There is even suggestion that the phrase "getting a lucky break" can be traced to this tradition.  If you want to win, watch the 76 second video below and remember: choke up, stay stationary, and pick the thick side.
