 It's a bit big to post here as an image but here's a link to the latest XKCD cartoon, which will explain all. Maybe.

 And thats why i'm not using a spork. If you don't tame your wild spork properly it is likely to go feral.... 
|
|
 But surely if you cross-breed a wild spork with a spoon and fork (which by their very nature are domesticated), you'd end up with a more domesticated, safer and more reliable spork, which will crave human company?

Good point i'll have to try thatttttttt arrggghhhh get offff helpp its attacking mmeeeeeee
|

 Maybe they used a foon by mistake.

 I had a spork for a few years, but I left it in a drawer unattended and it eventually reverted to a spoon. That's the problem with cross-breeding... inherently unstable.
And I doubt the cartoon's claims anyway. Everyone knows that the offspring of such a godless marriage as that of a spoon and a fork must be an infertile "mule". They'd have to resort to some serious gene-splicing to get a 1/4 : 3/4 hybrid.

I must confess, I do prefer the foon, mainly because it's only 1 letter away from fool, which is my preferred role!!!!
|
|
 My spork's very good natured - it's the owners fault you know, all in the training!
|
|
Always sporks, never foons. I believe it was Mr T. who said "I pity the foon!"
|
|
 this explains a lot my spork escaped me on a recent trip out never to be seen again...one of the lesser spotted snowpeak breeds as well...very dangerous will have to replace it with a less tempremental alpkit tiffoon and keep that on a leash

Titanium breeds need to be kept on a lead (Pb) choke chain

What you lot need is a Spoon Guard Spooooon Guaaaaaard!

|
Who says it works with sporks though? 
|
|
What do OMers think about the little knife bit on the Light my Fire Spork? Is this the result of selective breeding, an unanticipated gene mutation or what?
|

It probably means that if you're found with it about your person you'll be banged up for possessive of an offensive weapon. I wish I was joking. I fear I'm not.

 Genetic engineering? An unholy alliance between spork and knife? Think of the children....
|
|
I think the light my fire spork comes from cross breeding with a spife, or, if you can bear the mental image, a knork.

 I don't like it when sporks become uppity, qualify as doctors and then start writing books on child rearing. I mean, what the fork does the hybrid offspring of a fork and spoon know about human children anyway?
