[Story]
The bamboo-fearing scientist had never compared the straightness of a graduates pill to a guitar string, but one day, out of curiosity, he decided to do so. To his surprise, the pill was remarkably straight, almost as if it had been designed by a master craftsman. From that day on, the scientist became fascinated with the properties of the humble graduate pill and spent years studying its unique qualities.
