Spork of the Gods

I found this on ThinkGeek.com It's definitely worth a read
http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/8ace/

Every mythic hero normally has an equally mythic weapon. Zeus had his thunderbolts. Thor had his hammer, Mjolnir. King Arthur had his Excalibur. Frodo and Bilbo had their Sting. Rhydderch Hael had his Dyrnwyn. King Kong had his bananas…you get the idea. It's time for you to join the ranks of the heroes and heroines of lore as you wield your own legendary weapon in your battle against a very powerful foe: hunger.

The Titanium Spork is ready for the challenge. Titanium is known for its great strength, corrosion resistance, and light weight, which makes this spork a valuable asset around feeding time. Imagine how much more food you could shovel in at your local buffet if you didn't have to worry about the strain of picking up a heavy fork or spoon. Your food consumption can become the stuff of legends. Even just holding the Titanium Spork in your hand, you can feel its power. It is perhaps the greatest gastronomic invention since lickable wallpaper. Hunger, beware - your end is near!

Titanium Spork Dimensions:approx. 6.25" long and 1.5" at its widest point.

The problem with Titanium is it's extremely brittle. If someone were to try prying at say a crab leg shell with one, they'd snap the tines if not the whole end in a heartbeat.

According to Wikipedia

A metallic element, titanium is recognized for its high strength-to-weight ratio.[6] It is a light, strong metal with low density that, when pure, is quite ductile (especially in an oxygen-free environment),[18] lustrous, and metallic-white in color. The relatively high melting point (over 1,649 °C or 3,000 °F) makes it useful as a refractory metal.

Commercial (99.2% pure) grades of titanium have ultimate tensile strengths of about 63,000 psi, equal to that of steels alloys, but are 45% lighter.[5] Titanium is 60% heavier than aluminium, but more than twice as strong[5] as the most commonly used 6061-T6 aluminium alloy. Certain titanium alloys (e.g., Beta C) achieve tensile strengths of over 200,000 psi (1.4 GPa). [19] However, titanium loses strength when heated above 430 °C (800 °F)[5]


If titanium is brittle, then i'm the princess of morocco my friend!

Having worked with the stuff I can call bullshit. I helped create a new refining process for creating bars of it. It is less ductile than steel at small diameters and is quite brittle over all. It's only when you get into plate that is about a quarter inch and larger that you really see the stuff shine and become useful. Or if they create wire mesh out of it.

Don't get me wrong I love titanium (nothing is better than lifting a howitzer arm by yourself) but you can count me out on buying the "spork of the future". Think about it this way. You can bend a forks tines or at the point where the handle meets the actual stabbing/scooping end right? Yeah. With titanium that will bend a small amount and then just snap.

Touché. but think of it this way, at least it isn't made of uranium... now THAT would be a bad case of indigestion... or radiation poisoning!

EDIT: but Alas, now I must go see a doctor about a sex change operation, and then I must fly to morocco, where I will proceed to seduce and marry it's prince. DAMN this is going to suck!
:sad: :(

I never said it was news, I was just browsing for gadgets, and I happened to come across this little novelty and thought it would be good for a laugh!
