There is a spoon

Cheers to you Neo.

So after finding a number of ways in which a spoon can't be crafted I finally found one that works. When I was in high school I had a very short lived love affair with copper jewelry, bangles and the such. During this painful period I spent many an afternoon digging in some or the other heap of scrap in our local scrap yard. One sunny day, I hit the mother load, I found a good hand full of thick copper wire. This must have been before people started steeling them like diamonds, because as far as I can remember it cost me one or two rands. Sadly my copper craze died a quite death just after my investment, and thus the wires were relegated to the bottom of a box.

So why all this nonsense about scrap yards and copper wires? Well en my search for a material that would serve as an effective bowl for my spoon I found my long lost treasure! And this enabled me to create the spoon...

I have no potential purchaser as of yet, but the spoon is valued at R16 and I will be trying to sell it for R8. I have realized that it is a lot harder to sell one thing than selling stuff. There seems to be a certain safety in numbers, especially in this low range.

As an alternative I will be donating blood tomorrow, no in South Africa they decided that buying blood from people would not work, so now they beg for it., so I will be GIVING my blood away. Why is this important? It is of the utmost importance, because when you give blood you are given a cookie. I will be attempting to sell said cookie for 50c thus doubling my portfolio.

adios
