Apparently, a bent dry spaghetti does not break in half but instead in three or more pieces.
After careful experiments, scientists discovered that ".. the mere release of the rod induces a stress increase. The multiple breaking of bent rods, like dry spaghetti pasta, can then be understood as a cascade of releases (loss of cohesion upon breakings) followed by stress increases leading to new cracks"
Still no cure for cancer. Link

World’s best authors have their shares of rejection letters. Stephen King got so many that he used to nail them on a spike in his bedroom. Pulitzer-winning author William Saroyan had rejection letters piled 30-inch high.
Now, you can do something more constructive with your rejection letters: turn them into toilet paper.
