Regardless of how you feel about Subway's sandwiches or the potent disinfectant smell wafting from every branch, lovers of geometry and sandwich structure (like, say, us and Radiolab's Robert Krulwich) can only hail the cheese promise carried by the images above. The copy of this apparent Subway newsletter isn't good, but you'll notice the "New Procedure" sandwich on the left
NPR's esteemed science correspondent and Radiolab co-host Robert Krulwich joins us to discuss the impact that gravity, Newton's Second Law, and the Pythagorean Theorem have on sandwich construction and consumption. To see some of our older collaborations with Robert, check out this piece sending up NPR.org's Most E-mailed List, as well as the classic Emergency Krulwich. If you've just found The
