From CNN:

"Instead, laser tests carried out by British physicists found that
cookies -- or biscuits, as they are known in Britain -- often develop "fault
lines" a few hours after baking."

Whattya suppose they're going to name the 'fault lines'? The Keebler Fault?
The 'Lorna Doone'? Or do you suppose they'll stick with Britsky and call it
'The Windsor Fault'?

Those cracks are just a fact of life. It's Nobody's Fault.

Physics has fallen on hard times. Physicists have to find new avenues
for their research. My former roommate studied the theory of cracks in
metals for her PhD research. Sounds like she missed her true calling by
not applying it to biscuits.

When I went to the University of Maryland studying EE one
of my good friends who was a Chem major was working up
the road at the USDA.

One of her jobs was to test samples of flour sent in from
various mills around the nation.

To test the flour, they baked cookies.

She had big, paper-wrapped bundles of cookies with her
every day she came to school after going to work, courtesy
of the American flour industry and the Federal Government.

You must be thinking of my sister's cookies.

Damn.
This strongly reminds me of how Cenotes formed after a large meteor strike...
I was just reading about that in a recent National geographic.

Time to start sacrificing virgins to the great cookie god. ;-)
