My high school science teacher explained it well with something a long the lines of "You can't grog it since you're big and stupid". Technically even normal measurement is action at a distance since we're collapsing a wave function that covers an area into a small point instantaneously. In entanglement the wave function is just spread out even further, but if we already accept wave functions over areas for particles it's not that big a stretch. Problem is that it obviously doesn't jive with what we have experience with everyday as big stupid people.

The issue of waveform collapse is fundamentally different than "it collapses". The fact it collapses is the easy part. The hard part is why it collapses simultaneously for two particles which can't communicate at the same(ish) moment due to light speed limitations.
