When cookie-lovers open packages of their favorite snacks, some of the biscuits are often in bits.

Now scientists say they know why -- and it has little to do with the way cookies are packaged and transported.

Most of the people in the world I know are accepting realists. Whatever happens, be it for better or worse, stick their hands in the pockets, shrug and say "That's how the cookie crumbles."

With the information now available because of these dedicated visionary scientists, such lazy and inept attitudes towards the world are obsolete. We are now informed that fate isn't just the order of the universe.

All life events are obviously determined by a combination of heat, humidity and transportation. I am therefore moving to a cold, dry environment with no roads. All idealists are welcome to join me at my tundra retreat where we will suffer from nothing but boredom...

If this is true, why do my Oreos and Chips Ahoy! cookies ALWAYS come intact with no broken ones? I always thought it was better packaging but now it appears the Brits just have inferior cookie technology.......

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.


That is blatantly obvious to anyone who's ever baked anything, but I guess now that we've done laser tests, we can know for certain.

I'm in China. They usually eat eggs, some sort of fluffly white pastery thing, and rice pudding for breakfast. I have no clue what they do to their bread, but it is terrible. Occassionally you can find some French or Italian bread at a supermarket. Actually, most of their cookies are rather decent, but foreign cookies are expensive.
