A new world record set by Hungarian team of Aliz Totivan and Norbert Pozsonyi at the 2009 Spaghetti Bridge Championships held at Okanagan College's Kelowna, B.C., Canada campus. A bridge weighing 982 grams held 443.58 kilograms before shattering dramatically, eclipsing the previous world record by 90 kilograms.

this reminds me of my first day at my studies. To get to now each other, we where divided in groups and the group that make the strongest paper bridge won the competition.
My team won because we used a ruler rapped in paper to hold the construction. This bridges now stands in the office of a teacher.
I'm curious when he finds out

Was this spaghetti bridge design optimized by a computer?... I think we could do better :)
