Yep. I remember the first time I helped cook spaghetti. This was in  
the Boy Scouts and my patrol was cooking spaghetti for dinner.  
Someone had told the cook that you didn't need to stir the spaghetti,  
just put it in the boiling water and let it cook. The bottom strands  
were as you describe, while the top ones were rather crunchy.

I've never forgotten to stir pasta since then. :-)
