Yeah except it happens twice.  The surface of the water is near the top 
of glass, but the straw breaks midway down.  I'm guessing this is caused 
by the IOR of the glass taking over at this position, probably do to 
coinciding surfaces.  Notice the jagged patter to the left of the break, 
probably the mesh (if it is a mesh) where the surfaces intersect.  Also 
notice, how the glass clips the bottom end of the straw unnaturally. 
Its funny the things you notice when you give an image a second look.
