The Knork, Clone High, and Abraham Lincoln

Do you ever get a craving to eat a steak, but then get stopped dead in your tracks because of the cumbersome task of having to use two utensils to cut food AND place it in your mouth?  Fear not, my lazy brethren, a company called ‘Knork Flatware’ has come up with…well…the Knork.  It’s basically a fork with a dull-ish/sharp-ish cutting edge that allows you to eat steaks with less utensil switching, which translates into quicker protein ingestion.

The brain cells that make up the lazy part of my brain couldn’t be happier.  They were high-fiving each other and eating ice cream, but then the other half of my brain were throwing chairs and starting fires in objection.  “Wait a second, ‘Clone High’ came up with this idea 8 years ago!!  And it was an awesome show.”

[This is literally the brain diagram of JohnChoi.org.]

For those of you who don’t know what ‘Clone High’ is, it was an animated show that ran on MTV from 2002 to 2003 and the basic premise of the show was that shady government figures dug up the corpses of famous historical figures, cloned them, then made them go to high school together.  It gets crazier.  Abraham Lincoln plays the awkward high school protagonist, Gandhi is his ADHD addled best-friend, Joan of Arc, JFK, Cleopatra…just watch the show, it’s awesome and it’s all on YouTube now.

[The opening theme song sums up everything I just wrote.]

Uhhhh…and my friends think that I have an infatuation with Abraham Lincoln.  Well, I mean I do, but it’s nothing weird.

…saying that it’s not weird is totally making it kind of weird…
