If it's possible to make a breakfast cereal that expands slightly in milk, it should be possible to attach two pieces of breakfast cereal compound with different milk-absorption rates to each other so that this composite cereal bends when milk is added and one side expands more than the other. Then, if you create long strands of breakfast cereal with the high-absorption material alternating from one side to the other, you'll have a cereal which, when milk is added, will resemble a writhing cereal bowl of snakes.-- hippo, May 29 2008 Monkey skull bowl Noodle_20BrainsHooray for me!

Quick everybody, persecute him!-- Jinbish, May 30 2008 In keeping with the theme, the boxes of cereal should only be put on supermaket shelves when they are twenty years past their "sell by" date.-- DrBob, May 30 2008 hey, that was a good movie.-- FlyingToaster, May 30 2008 // persecute him //
