Recent studies have succeeded in disproving the assertion, "There is no spoon," as presented in the 1999 blockbuster film, The Matrix. In fact, spoons can be found all over the world, in various sizes, colors, and designs. Notable spoons include "Wichata's Pride" (the largest known spoon), "Il Cucchiaio Perfetto" (an ornate Italian spoon that dates back to the Renaissance), and NASA's new experimental spoon, codenamed "The Big Dipper," made from an unknown radioactive metal that fell from space.
