Ever think that Pythagoras only knew about right angled triangles? You’d be wrong.
He helped develop one of the main foundations of music theory

Following that, I was just watching a programme about the finches on the Galapagos Island.

Crazy how they destroyed it all. Same as ourselves. We were probably worse, at least they had a homegrown car industry doing the shenanigans behind the scenes.
We just had misguided planning and a few rich people inconvenienced by public transport.
Taken at face value.

Went down a Rolling Stones rabbit hole and came across these two mental paragraphs about Bill Wyman:
"On 2 June 1989, aged 52, Wyman married 18-year-old Mandy Smith, whom he had "fallen in love with" when she was 13 and, according to Smith, had a sexual relationship with when she was 14.[37] The couple separated two years later and finalised their divorce two years after that.[38][39]
In 1993, Wyman's son Stephen Wyman married Patsy Smith, the 46-year-old mother of Bill's ex-wife Mandy Smith. Stephen was 30 years old at the time. Therefore, Bill became the father-in-law of his ex-mother-in-law as well as the stepgrandfather of his former wife.[42]"

Spinal Tap is the only film on IMDB that is rated out of 11:
Why don't they just make ten the highest and make ten be the top number and make that a little better?
These go to 11.

Bending spaghetti breaks it into three or more parts.
It all depends on how far apart your hands are and on how many spaghetti you're holding.
Maybe it's already artisanally pre-broken spaghetti which has gotten its 'break into three ' tendency already used up?
Then breaking one of them in two means the original spaghetti is now in four pieces.
now you're getting philosphical. what happens if spaghetti was made in one continuous long string and cut to length as required? then all spaghetti is fragmentary.
I considered a footnote saying no expanding the scope back to the factory for the fun of it :-)
^^ One of IMO the best April Fools' Day jokes was made by BBC on 1957. Spaghetti grown on trees!
It's the flexural waves wot does it.
(Science follows.)

Abstract
When thin brittle rods such as dry spaghetti pasta are bent beyond their limit curvature, they often break into more than two pieces, typically three or four. With the aim of understanding these multiple breakings, we study the dynamics of a bent rod that is suddenly released at one end. We find that the sudden relaxation of the curvature at this end leads to a burst of flexural waves, whose dynamics are described by a self-similar solution with no adjustable parameters. These flexural waves locally increase the curvature in the rod, and we argue that this counterintuitive mechanism is responsible for the fragmentation of brittle rods under bending. A simple experiment supporting the claim is presented.
