Physics--EGG DROP

I have to do an egg drop experiment for my physics class. It has to travel about 8 or 9 feet and can not break. The catch is that I can only use toothpicks and glue (super glue, elmers, rubber cement, etc). I have no idea how to make a device (it can't be too large in size) that will carry the egg and not break it on impact. The egg can not be glued inside either. We have to put the egg inside the device on the day of the experiment. Can anyone help me with ideas at all? I'm desperate!! :confused:

It´s pretty interesting that this link not only redirects me to http://www.google.de but it also gives me a german page as the first result.

I would suggest some form of cage that is designed to crumple on impact increasing the impact time, therefore decreasing the acceleration of the impact. But google is probably better than me.
