What is a Spork?
Spork: Blend of sp(oon sb. + f)ork sb. A proprietary name for a piece of cutlery combining the features of a spoon, fork, (and sometimes, knife).
Patent Information: 1970 Official Gaz. (U.S. Patent Office) 11 Aug. tm 65 Van Brode Milling Co., Inc., Clinton, Mass... Spork for Combination Plastic Spoon, Fork and Knife.
Yet a spork is so much more than just a poor excuse for an eating utensil.
A spork is a perfect metaphor for human existance. It tries to function as both spoon and fork, and because of this dual nature, it fails miserably at both. You cannot have soup with a spork, it is far too shallow; you cannot eat meat with a spork, the prongs are too small.

Uses for a spork-
As we know, a spork is completely innapropriate as an eating utensil, so the question arises: ``But then, what can I use a spork for?''
1. Pull out all but the edge prongs, rip off the handle, and stick it in your mouth. Instant Dracula! 2. Invert the spork (turn it into a foon) and load stuff into the depression and fire! 3. Foon your spork and lay it on the table with the arch up, then press on the high arc and release. Flying Foons! 4. Foon your spork and then spork your foon in rapid sucession, the resulting crack sound is known as a `spack'. This is hours of fun. 5. Foon your spork and turn the prongs up, you have just created a sporfoontapult, perfect for launchings (see above). 6. Alternately bend the prongs inward and outward and stand the spork on end. This is a leaning tower of spork. You can then launch foons over it. 7. Get a bunch of friends together and make a plenty foons. Then start launching them at each other, the objective is to collide foons in mid-air. Note: The more foons in the air the better, try to launch 5-10 at a time for a challenge. 8. Plant them in your lawn to scare away burglers 9. Stick them in your backpack to scare away friends 10. Instead of roses, give your girlfriend sporks in new and interesting ways 11. Plus much much more...
What other people do with sporks.
-The band "Soup'' threw out one thousand of them during shows. -Dark Helmet suggests the ``Spork War''. Much like pencil war, you try and crack one spork with the other. One player holds the spork horizontally, and the other holds it vertically, bends back the handle, lets go, and hits the midsection of the other spork as hard as possible. If you dont break the other spork, you switch off roles. I would recommend using thick sporks with this one. -Joseph D Mulholland, remembers that way back in the fourth grade he and a bunch of pals played ``lowest spork number'', where you compare the number on the back of the spork and the lowest wins. -John Bragg likes to paint them gold and put them behind his ear, so he can be a "Spork Pimp''.

Sporks from around the world-
Yes there are sporks from around the world. xp
-Taco Bell, while their sporks only have three prongs and are unsuitable for fooning, they are nice and sturdy. -Kentucky Fried Chicken, in some parts of the country, still gives out sporks. If I remember properly, They are quite tiny and flimsy, with four prongs. -Wendy's in upstate New York gives out sporks, and according to Peter Blackbird, they are very easy to foon. -New York Public School's sporks are green and have four prongs. They are among the best I have ever used. -New Jersey Public School's sporks are white, four pronged, and quite thin, perfect for fooning, yet do not jump as high as as New York sporks. -In Central High School in Kansas City, Missouri, the sporks have three prongs and are quite tough to foon (but it can be done, Joe Leone holds the record, with 4 seconds). -In New Zealand, according to Lydia Mills, Sporks are made by a company named "Lily''. -Daren A. Sommers says that there is a giant spork about 25 feet tall at Kansas State University, which is called "The p***s on the Prairie". It's normally located in front of the Chem/Biochem building. -According to Barbara Keller, you can get silver sporks from a company called Dansk. -In the Pima County Adult Detention Center (located in lovely Tuscon Arizona), sporks are issued with each meal.
