The spaghetti weevil is still a threat to small-scale family-run traditional spaghetti farms. They pose a threat to the uniform length of the harvest. Many have switched to heartier, weevil-resistant fettucine trees.

Praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster! This is the ultimate proof of intelligent design. The spaghetti is the perfect length because the Flying Spaghetti Monster made it that way. RAmen!

The Ticino- and more specifically, Lugano, is on the border of Switzerland and Italy and actually used to be part of the duchy of Milan. Most of the people there speak Italian and the culture, food, architecture is Italian. It's situated between the Italians lakes -Como and Maggiore. I used to live there.:)
