For problem number 1 listed in your link, the YouTube video I posted elsewhere in this thread is a solution.
Moreover, my wife, who is a nurse, has never heard of "bagel injury."

#13> In additional to the intellectual stimulation, you get more cream cheese, because there is slightly more surface area.
As someone who uses half of a brick per bagel regardless of size, I'd say surface area is a non-limiting factor for cream cheese application. If you want more cream cheese, just have more cream cheese -- it's delicious, on top of being more filling (and arguably healthier) than the bagel itself.

His tip is to cut them in half so you don't waste half?. My tip is eat both halves so you don't waste half.

His tip is to cut them in half before you freeze them. This way, you don't need to wait for them to thaw to cut them and toast them.

#16Topology is some crazy shit. I wonder if the guy who sells Klein bottle hats can come up with a knife for cutting this way. Cliff Stoll.

#18Definitely does NOT fit in the toaster that way! :-)
As somebody who is firmly anti-toaster oven (they're an inferior toaster and a lousy oven), I'll admit that if you're hell-bent on slicing your bagels this way, you should get a toaster oven. Everyone else can find a better use for that counter space.
