Maybe I didn't poke around in the right place at their site, but I found no mention of sporks.

Anybody enjoy this post needs to read The Evolution of Useful Things, which covers the fork as well as the paper clip, zipper, and others.

Yeah, I'm sorry they overlooked the spork (and its mysterious tendency to be found in close proximity to Wet-Naps), but good post nevertheless.

My mother's a nurse, and she once had a patient who apparently swallowed her own fork during a mindless, manic eating binge. So I, too, thought this link lead to stories of people eating utensils...
