    'Where have all the bloody teaspoons gone?' - By Tom Spears, The Ottawa Citizen
    It's an old, and evidently worldwide, phenomenon. Spoons in the workplace disappear at an enormous rate, says the Burnet Institute in Melbourne.
    Like this:
    - "The half life of the teaspoons was 81 days (that is, half had disappeared permanently after that time)."
    - If an office wants to keep a supply of 70 spoons always on hand, it will need to buy 250 spoons over the course of a year.
