Where did all the spoons go?
I want answers about that and why I have more Tupperware lids than bowls.
They all go into an alternate universe, everyone knows that. If you can’t find that left(or right)sock it is because someone in another dimension needed it! I am only half joking because we all know that socks do go missing in a washing machine that should show the socks but there it is, gone. As for spoons, well wouldn’t you need spoons in another dimension?
He ended up discovering the theory and practical application of teleporting things and people, a la Star Trek.
It could happen...
“’Where have all the bloody teaspoons gone?’”
They’ve all gone gay. They now wish to be called “Sporks,” or “Runcibles.”

If the spoons are valuable, check Hillary’s silverware drawer.
I just want to know if they broke the $3 million mark funding this study. Until then, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Check my daughter's bedroom. I'm sure they're all there.
Sporkweasel stole them.
“Aitken and his spoon squad calculated that an estimated 18 million teaspoons go missing in the city of Melbourne each year,...”
No way that everybody in Melbourne could be as dishonest and sloppy as a bunch of pointy-headed nerds with no real work to do.
One would expect that they kept the study secret from the rest of the staff, in order to prevent the appropriation of spoons just to make the researchers scratch their heads.
They need to realize that spoons, like socks, are highly anti-anthromorphic, and really hate being used by humans. They will use any means possible to high-tail it to parts unknown the first chance they get.

Why didn’t they RFID them? Then they could have known for sure.
I solved the mystery of the missing socks quite inadvertently one day when I accidentally kicked the dryer cord out of the wall. It kept running. Yep. Dryers don’t really run on electricity. They run on socks.
Usually in our house with the help of our toddler into whatever he has figured out how to open/climb on/crawl under.
The prestigious British Medical Journal mentioned the study two years ago, and the final data is now used in Africa and in schools in the U.S., as a teaching tool on how to conduct a research project.

Amusing study, and amusing comments.
Why do see just one shoe (usually a sneaker) laying on the road? Did someone put their feet out the car window and push a shoe off? Was someone attempting to cross the road and ran out of their shoes to avoid oncoming traffic? Did they just never like that particular shoe? I would be willing to accept a $250,000 Federal grant to study this issue.
