Spork assault nets man prison
1 YEAR: Victim was stabbed with hybrid fork-spoon utensil.
Anchorage Daily News
A man who stabbed another man with a spork, a combination fork and spoon, earlier this year in what police said was an attempted robbery was sentenced Thursday to a year in prison for felony assault.
Peter Albert, 52, was originally charged with armed robbery for attempting to steal a man's watch at the intersection of 11th Avenue and Turpin Street in February. The watch wouldn't come off, so Albert ran away after stabbing the victim with what was first believed to be a knife.
In a plea agreement, the charge was reduced to felony assault with a deadly weapon, which comes with a year of prison time, according to prosecutor Gustav Olson.
It isn't that a spork is inherently deadly, Olson said. It's the manner in which it was used. Albert has already served most of his time.
Albert, who police said was intoxicated, left a number of Kentucky Fried Chicken products at the scene of the crime.
When police tracked him down a few blocks away, they found he was carrying a backpack that contained a small pocket knife, a KFC bag and several spoon-fork hybrids.
What an idiot
Reality is stranger than fiction
I've always said anything is a weapon, it just matters how you apply it
Proof positive, I guess?
We need more spork control now! Just remember; sporks don't kill people, taco bell kills people.
Spooning. Thats what I did last night with my wife. Thats the concept that I have of spooning.
I wonder if sporks will no longer be allowed on airplanes ???
I carry one of these..

And I think I speak for every man here when I say, "Ladies, why can't we just cuddle sometimes? Is this *dry humps air* the way you feel you need to communicate?"

Well he didn't want to leave his knife in the victim.
I find it hilarious they find it relavent to tell us that he left a bunch of KFC crap at the scene. I guess maybe they figured it linked him to the crime because he had it in his backpack. I assume he was the only person in the area that ate KFC for lunch....

Or at least the only one in who had it and could actually walk afterward. Have you BEEN to KFC lately?? Hell, that's probably why he stabbed the guy in the first place. What they didn't mention is the guy who got "spooned" was just a KFC employee that got in the way of his mashed potatoes.
