Why cookies crumble. Thank you, oh intelligent scientists. Instead of finding a cure for AIDS or cancer, we know now the answer to that age old question: Why for my cookie go all crumbly? Bah.

"Do we have a pill that will give make you live to be 200? No! Do we have a pill that will cure AIDS? No! Do we have a pill that will give you mental clarity? No! But we have a pill that will make you harder than Chinese Algebra."
--Robin Williams (his joke, in my own words, trying hard to remember it)

Jerry Seinfeld on seedless watermelons:
"And what kind of scientists do this kind of work, anyway ? You know, other scientists working on AIDS, cancer, heart disease, these guys are going "no, I wanna focus more on... melon. I think that's the important area. Sure, thousands are dying needlessly, but this... (makes sound) -poom- ...that's gotta stop !"

quote: Doctoral student Qasim Saleem said the findings -- published Thursday by the scientific journal Measurement, Science and Technology -- could revolutionize the cookie industry.
"This will help biscuit manufacturers adjust the humidity or temperature of their factory production lines to change the cooling process in such a way that the biscuits won't break up due to normal handling, and hence producing the perfect biscuit," he said.
THE PERFECT BISCUIT! Wow! I almost crapped my pants I was so amazed, no more crumbs for me.

Dammit, you're right! Figuring out the cure to cancer and AIDS was so simple. I know I've got those cures around here somewhere...
