The June stories at the FCP site: (1) rattlesnakes versus squirrels and death, and how a decapitated rattlesnake can strike you. (2) why dry spaghetti always breaks in three or four parts, not in two parts. (3) pub trick --- how to hang a beer bottle on a wall. (4) why haboobs (giant dust storms) are electrified. (5) the catastrophe optics that appears in an illuminated drop of water. http://www.flyingcircusofphysics.com
