I hear you. I'm going on three years. And I'm only at 600.

You are a poster whose posts I, for one, enjoy reading, Squid.

Oh another one, it can't be a crow bar because spoons are traditional.
I suppose I could bend a spoon, pry bar fashion.

Could be a black and white spoon,
or a crow standing on the skinny bit.
A dead crow on the spoon ready for eating.
I don't know how to create a boastful spoon (Muhammad Ali's face?).
Roosters crow.
A "stone the crows" reference may not be understood but I like the idea.
- could be done simply with white powder or an actual stone.

Congrats Crow.

This thing looks handy.

QuoteMeta-tool use (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Caledonian_Crow)

Recent experiments show that New Caledonian Crows are able to use one tool to affect another to achieve a task, at a level rivalling the best performances seen in primates.[7][8][9]

One such experiment, conducted by the Auckland team, involved putting food in a box out of the crows' reach. They were given a stick too short to reach the food, but they could use this to retrieve a longer stick from another box. The longer stick was then used to retrieve the food. This complex behaviour involved realising that a tool could be used on non-food objects, and suppressing the urge to go directly for the food. It was solved by six of seven birds on the first attempt, and had previously only been observed in primates.

The crows also use tools to investigate potentially dangerous objects.

More than likely. He joined a few months earlier than me. In fact, he was the one who told me about this forum.
