Interesting Celery Fact No. 12
Celery fibre is the third strongest substance known to man, after spiders web, and baked on cheese. If a celery fibre the same thickness as a power line were made, it would be able to stretch between towers 18,643 miles apart without breaking.
This is not in fact a contradiction, but it is something of an interesting anomaly. Due to elasticity in the macro-physics of time related to the phases of the moon, spiders silk is strongest between the 24th of each month, and the 9th of the following month, whereas the rest of the time, celery fibre is stronger.

It's all very simple when you look into it.
