OK, who's got all the teaspoons?

Who knew teaspoons had a half-life? I strongly suspect this phenomena to be related to the reports of "Dryer Black Holes", wherein one of each pair of socks will eventually disappear, or possibly to the incidence of households running out of paper towels, toilet paper and tissues at the same time ...

Possibly one of the most talked about pieces of research published in the British Medical Journal has surprisingly little to do with medicine… or science… or anything of any particular importance. Entitled "The Case of the Disappearing Teaspoons", the study proves that this is a naturally occurring phenomenon with no apparent explanation.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
