This is really about physics, but I thought it interesting. If you take a stick of dry spaghetti and push in on from both ends until it bows and breaks, it breaks into three or more pieces. To get it to break in just two pieces requires that it be twisted, then bowed.
I find it easier to break the strands in half before boiling them.
