The Evolution of Utensils Funny, Learning, Life, Pictures | Comments
Brilliant right? Well, it's even more brilliant once you learn that a "splayd" is, indeed, a real utensil, defined by Wikipedia as "a single eating utensil combining the functions of spoon, fork and knife." So, ha, that's what you get for doubting my charts. [via the ragbag]
