Newley Purnell has invented a new combination utensil, perhaps (according to him) good for the next set of Chinese astronauts that go up into space.

Zitat:

While living in Taiwan last year, I really enjoyed using chopsticks — but I found that they failed in one crucial regard: picking up little pieces of food (vittles that’re too small to be grasped, and can only be poked). So I constructed the prototype you see above by fashioning tiny dumpling pokers to the ends of conventional chopsticks. And the chorks, thus, were born. Chopsticks plus forks equals chorks.

I personally think those would have come in useful for picking up the last 10 grains of rice that are always left behind after I eat rice dishes here.
