Ain't that a spoon in the head?

Verily, ye first law of spoon dynamics sayeth: The increase in the internal energy of a spoon is equal to the amount of energy added by heating the spoon, minus the amount lost as a result of the work done by the spoon on its surroundings.

That reminds me that the coefficient of linear expansion is the increase in length per unit length of a spoon when it's heated through one centigrade degree.

The fundamental constant equal to the ratio of the energy of a spoon of energy to its frequency.

Who can forget those great spoon moments in literature? Like Tom Sawyer spending all day whitewashing his spoon and the great scene where he, Huckleberry Finn and Jim the runaway slave sailed down the mighty Mississipi river on a spoon?
Or Anne Frank, spending years hidden from the Nazis in an attic, writing on a spoon.
Or the tear-jerking moment when young Oliver Twist holds up his bowl and beseeches "Please Sir, can I have a spoon?"

It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, a spoon, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
