Our local newspaper had a feature burb about sporks that I JUST had to share... See inside for link. (just click the damn button already!!)

Or if you are too lazy to click the link, here's the text:

Numbers game
1,400
Cases of "sporks" bought by the Joliet Grade School District. Packaged by Disposz-O Products of Fountain Inn, S.C., they sell for $16.25 a case.

And what is a spork, you ask?

It's that funny little plastic utensil that's a cross between a spoon and a fork.

I saw that and thought the typesetter needed to go back to school and find a dictionary or spellchecker.

let's do the math (5.00 / 2) (#1)

they just spent $22,750.00 on sporks. How many sporks come in a case, I wonder? let's assume that there are 500 units per case, which would mean that each spork is worth 3.25 cents. If a case contains 1000 units, that value drops to 1.625 cents. Either way, we are more valuable than the penny.
