Why would someone sink a duck egg in a jar of water?

This is a common way of checking duck and chicken eggs for freshness. If the egg stays at the bottom of the jar, it is very fresh. If if suspends towards the middle, it is not as fresh, but it is still edible. If it rises almost to the top or floats, the egg has likely gone bad. It has to do with the air pocket inside of the shell expanding as the egg ages.
