Ditch the knife, fork and spoon for a more hands-on experience.

[Major Tom]

don't folks in muslim and SEA eat most foods with the fingers, and a big spoon (for the Pho)

They used one hand to eat with and the other hand to wipe their a$$e$ with!

[Vern Humphrey]

They used one hand to eat with and the other hand to wipe their a$$e$ with!

Which is why cutting off a thief's right hand was such a dreaded penalty.

[rayg]

They used one hand to eat with and the other hand to wipe their a$$e$ with!

And hope they don't get mixed up while eating!

[Allen]

And hope they don't get mixed up while eating!

They may not care.

You are what you eat.

This statement was made by a professor. What amazes and upsets me is the nature and extent of the totally stupid things for which governments and other agencies provide research funding. Can anyone seriously imagine that the average taxpayer would support research on eating with your hands instead of using a knife and fork? What is really needed is a research study on the degradation of research subjects by professors and graduate students, particularly in the non-science areas. One could also question the rationale for the media to give credence to this stupidity by publishing an article on it.

But those kids going to college have to study something. It's like panning for gold. You shovel a lot of debris for a tiny bit of gold. The occasional nugget does show up. These days, it's very small it seems.
You stumble across an acorn once in a while.
