"By having a bulge in the midsection like some middle-aged man, it holds the bulk of its volume there. But where the bottom of the meniscus meets the volume-marker, it is extremely thin. This is deliberately done since any extra amount of liquid will have little room to spread horizontally and will rise instead. "
