Why do Teapots Dribble?

Did you ever notice that when you poor a cup of tea that the first and last little bits end up splashing all over the table and not in your cup? Well so did researchers in France. Luckily they've cracked the code.

One of the funniest things I've ever seen had to do with the predicament. A friend mentioned they could solve this issue by pouring the tea faster. Only to have the teapot open and all the tea rush out at once all over the table.
