Nitinol Teaspoon That Bends!

Someone fetch me the Great Randi...or at least Uri Geller.

C'mon, those references aren't that old, are they?

Whatever...some people just don't appreciate culture. Everyone, though, can appreciate this wonderful demonstration of a fun application of nitinol, a shape memory alloy of NIckel-TItanium (from the Naval Ordinance Lab).

For a scant $50 or so, I'd actually be pretty tempted to order one myself if they weren't currently out of stock.
