Rivka's Meme: Answers

From songster: 1) In a fight between a badger and an ocelot, which would win and why?

2) Is there a place in your life for a spork?

3) What is your favourite smell?

(1) From Wikipedia:

The Ocelot: It can be up to 1 m (3'2") in length, plus 45 cm (1'6") tail length, and weighs 11.5–16 kg (25–35 pounds)
[snip]
The Ocelot is mostly nocturnal and very territorial. It will fight fiercely, sometimes to the death, in territorial disputes.

The Badger: Badgers are capable of fighting off much larger animals such as wolves, coyotes and bears. Badgers can run or gallop at up to 25-30 km per hour for short periods of time.

So I say badger, but I may have been biased at an early age by CS Lewis. "We don't let go," and all that.

(2) I have several sporks in green plastic, from Spudulike, whose disposable cutlery appears to be dishwasher proof. They are very useful for picnics and camping. They are sufficiently inferior to separate implements that I will never pay money for a more durable spork because I'd be annoyed ever time I took a bite.

(3) Right now, coffee. Fairly often, coffee, in fact. Or bread baking. Smells which tell me something good is about to happen are best; coffee, bread, dinner, seaside, perhaps bonfire.

i really like the concept, but i've never seen one in non-plastic, and i hate plastic dinnerware. well, "hate" -- noth with the passion of a thousand suns going nova, you know. just -- ew. not in my mouth.

*googles*. oh wow, there is actually a titanium spork!

and this picture is worth 200 words or so. this one leaves me speechless.

proto spork for those who just like to shovel it in.
