Where do all the teaspoons go?

A sppon, huh? Well that would drive anyone nuts! I had a fork disappear, and in its place I found a plastic fork (the other one was metal, you know) which I thought an inadequate replacement.
 
I don't know if this is going to help ,it may just completely confuse the topic,
n/e way,,hope to shed enlightenment on an unsolved mystery.

well being the "new guy" I'm not able to post links,,so look up the "SPORK BIBLE" and if you decide not to look it up, you aren't REALLY interested in the evolution of cutlery:cool:
 
perhaps there is a quantum singularity in your flatware drawer which, every so often, causes one of your spoons to slip out of our normal timespace quadrant and appear in various places throughout the universe? given that two objects cannot occupy the same spacetime locus, the two objects simply perform a quantumly entangled molecular communication which allows them to instantaneously appear in both places at once in two different forms.

see. pretty normal stuff there.
 
I could not find sporks or flatware either on snopes.com, so the existence of both is doubtful. Quantum singularities, on the other hand, are well established in Physics. I'm not arguing, just contributing.

I found intersting stuff when I googled... is the spork a symbol of the transgender?
 
Some sporks incorporate a find sawtooth edge on one side so that they can also take the place of a knife. You could cut the cheese with a spork, for instance. I have also seen a spork molded from Titanium, a metal that is lighter and stronger by weight than steel. If I had enough of those Titanium sporks I might be able to construct a nice lean-to out of them, but of course I would reserve one to eat with.
 
I was going to reply to the possibility of transgender cutlery,,however,,,am having a hard time staying focused on the "seriousness" of the teaspoon phenomena.The possibility of quantum theories as well as material structure are perplexing ,,,,,,(I would blow it it I had to keep a straight face):p

I think a knife that doubles as a cell phone would be a horrible idea...Knowing me, if I havent had my first pot of coffee in the morning, if I take or make a call, and press the wrong button, Id be sure to impale myself:eek:
but, I guess, if they do market that idea, as long as they included a first aid kit, it might be ok. lol;)

even better, a spoon that doubles as a teleportation device.

You throw the spoon somewhere, and magically appear at its destination. If you're crossing the road and don't want to wait for it to clear, throw the spoon to the other side and $%$#%#$%#@&*! You appear on the other side of the road.

Mail your spoon to the other side of the world to avoid buying an air ticket.

If you ever lose your spoon and want to find it, just click your fingers and you will be there. It's that easy.
 
ya know those little red paper sleeves we often get chopsticks in???

it has Chinese characters on one side (no clue what it says, now I am going to have to ask) but on the other side it gives 'how to use chopsticks' instructions, and then on the bottom half...we read for the first time in our lives...a little history of chopsticks (has it always been there?????)

Anywho, so it says that way back when (before the fork and spoon were at the table) all there was was the knife. You cut and stabbed whatever you were gonna eat, and you picked up your bowl and drank from it. So it says that Confucius decided that having a knives at the table was too much of a sign of violence, and replaced the knives with chopsticks....

WHO KNEW??? I thought they'd been used for millenia....but they were 'invented' and then the idea grew??

Just wanted to report on my teaspoon situation.

The errant spoon has not reappeared.

However, a sppon, not from my set, has appeared.

Me thinks someone is trying to drive me nuts ...... it's working!!!

This is obviously the work of Annoia, the goddess of Things That Get Stuck In Drawers but her bailiwick is not simply limited to 'stuckness', Oh no, for SHE IS THE ONE who gives and takes from draws!
 
Ever spread grape jelly or preserves using a teaspoon? Imagine how much using a knife instead might annoy ya. Its a luxury that many people take for granted until someone takes their teaspoons away.

So She's the one responsible for Missing Socks! And I have been blaming my :kitty: companions (I owe them each a fresh :kitty: garden as an apology.)

Cats use laptops to warm their undersides, and they use I-pads for pillows. A kitty once described a spork to her momma as a cross between a long tailed mouse and a chew toy. It was soft and round and pliable except for the sharp parts. "Sounds like a roach" said Momma. "No" said Kitty "Its not like a roach at all. You know that collection of teaspoons you keep under the house? Well, its like one of those but it isn't shiny, has no taste and They put it into trash cans. I know about it because a dog told me. He eats them all the time."

Forks are also an evolution of the knife as a stabbing utensil for eating.

Who invented da spirit?

The answer is: Whoever it was that invented forking.

Tea spoons were obviously not present in Bible times. Proverbs 23:1 shows someone eating with a ruler. Why would they eat with rulers if they had spoons? Hence spoons did not exist yet.

makes me really wonder whatever happened to cubits! i mean... the Bible is littered with them... perhaps they have gone extinct or been stolen like the aforementioned spoons!
