I find it odd that when you ask somebody what their favorite eating utensil is that they invariably answer that it's a spork. You'd think that if that were really the case that people would have sporks in their house and they'd use them on a daily basis. And if that were the case, you'd think that when you went to their house to eat, you would be offered a spork with which to dine. Yet strangely, I've never been offered a spork.

This leads me to conclude that (a) sporks are fun to think and talk about, but nobody honestly likes them and (b) chopsticks get a bad rap.

For your [alleged] spork fans out there:

• the spork FAQ
• an anime spork warning
• adopt a spork
• thoughts on improving the spork

But honestly, is it even fair to make people pick a favorite utensil? I mean I like a good spork as much as the next dork, but there are so many other choices worth considering. Like, for example, the squirt free grapefruit knife. That thing is totally bitchin'! Or what about a pair of asparagus tongs? Shouldn't all food be eaten with tongs?

Think carefully, that's all I ask.
