in reply to The best way to get food in my mouth is...

Those people voting spork need a talking too. This will only increase world-wide spork proliferation. Sporkage everywhere! Imagine all the horror. Eventually there may be spork silverware in your own home! Face it folks, it's nearly as useless as those little flexible plastic knives. They cut toast, but that's about it.

Besides, I insist, it's not a spork, it's a foon...

FWIW, I was the first to vote P38. Which P38? The one where Larry explains regular expressions? Or the can opener? Heaven knows you can't eat using a can-opener. It sure beats the straw though.

Other good poll options would be "magically turn it into a pizza" or "increase proximity to beer source". I still want to see this Mindstorm spork (no! foon!) however.

    If the US P38 food can access device is anything like the Australian Army tin-opener, then it has an integrated spoonife section at the end opposite the opener blade.

    Does anyone else think of The Swedish Chef when they see the word "spork"? Probably just me.
