DID YOU KNOW THAT:
  • In the Middle Ages in Europe, spoons served all the purposes in eating now served by forks or spoons; after the introduction of the fork, the spoon diminished in use.
  • Spoons can be played as a makeshift percussion instrument, or more specifically, an idiophone related to the castanets.
  • A wooden spoon is also not an uncommon choice as an implement for mild physical punishment, in the form of a spanking, especially used on young children (too small to endure heavier traditional implements except the bare hand), and as a so-called pervertible in sexual bondage.
  • Babies and some types of domestic birds, such as lovebirds and budgerigars can often be entertained for extended periods by being shown their reflection in the two different sides of a metal spoon.
  • Many people also derive amusement from the practice of hanging a spoon from one's nose which can be accomplished by breathing on the curved area and then carefully placing it on the tip of your nose. This would, however, be considered poor table manners.
  • AND New Jersey has a spoon museum with over 5,400 spoons from almost all the states. (Thank you Namye, for the help. ^_^ )
Post your interesting spoon facts in this thread! They don't even have to be proven or true! Yay!

Yes, yes it is.

I refer to lots of things as pervertibles. Especially some brands of cars.


In the meantime...

Pervertible Factoid: Spoon is actually one of my favorite bands, and is also banned in Wyoming.
 
Factoid: Silver spoons affect the taste of caviar, so people occasionally use ones made from animal horn.
