    You could set up a research team of unemployed IT people, apply for an EU subsidy, and develop the equations necessary for building the ideal rotating fork; you might find there’s a market for it among senile Italians, of whom there are many. You might even win an Ignobel Prize.

    I’m sure these kindly people would be prepared to publish your research;

          The world is in financial crisis. Global shares are plummeting. House prices are in free-fall. Mass unemployment is looming.

          And now this.

              I prefer Daz myself or liquitabs if on the go.
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                It feels like it. I can't take any more.

                    The fork itself is patented, along with a mechanism for stopping rotation at a convenient angle for eating, but I don’t see any patent for an automatic speed adjustment mechanism or algorithm.

                      Thanks Mich.

                      It isn't the invention of the fork that bothers me (I was well aware of it and have posted about it yonks ago) but the fact that this fork of beauty is a let down to BD.
