Ok, I've never personally seen or used this object, but I'm fascinated by the graphic and the analysis of the Splayd, and the concept that one utensil could serve all these purposes. There are two issues here:
1) What are the advantages of reducing our utensils down to one? Is this a gimick, or is it really useful and practical?
2) The idea of using this diagram as a model for showing the overlap between other like but dissimilar designs (for example, my telephone and my iPod) could create other sweet 'object mash-ups' (the iPhone, in fact, if I use my previous example). I like that idea of simplification.
