richard.cadillac Spork. Used in jails as a spoon and a fork. Usually it's plastic so it can't harm anyone. Apr 21, 2012
reesetee Sure, the stab potential is reduced for the food. But what about us poor souls who can't get the damn spork to work? Oct 10, 2007
uselessness The stab potential is greatly reduced. Not good. Oct 10, 2007
skipvia A classic example of the whole being far less than the sum of its parts. Have you ever tried to use one of these things? Oct 10, 2007

sonofgroucho Probably preferable to foon. Apr 1, 2007
