I was browsing the kitchen stuffs on Ebay and ran across a listing for a set of multi-colored measuring spoons with a "buy it now" price of $1,043.46
What an exorbitant amount for a set of measuring spoons! Surely there must be something else about them that makes them so special, like they're, oh, I don't know...magical...or made of Plutonium or just the best damned spoons you'll ever buy.
I had to know.
So I asked the seller this question: "Do these measuring spoons contain Plutonium? Is that why they're listed for so much? I'd like Plutonium measuring spoons..."
I patiently await his response...
...and I'm kind of hoping they're Plutonium.
Update! I got a reply. It might be easier to just show you what was said, so I'll quote our correspondence here:

Clearly, GuyWhoSellsSpoons doesn't care about my Plutonium needs. "Responded". Indeed!
I was curious to see what the new asking price of these magical, wondrous spoons had been changed to, so I clicked on the link at the bottom of the email. $1034.51!! What the...?
I was not satisfied. So I emailed him again:
Dear GuyWhoSellsSpoons,
Wait. So now the buying price is $1,034.51?? I have to ask what the hell these spoons are really made of.

I haven't gotten a reply from this last yet, but when I checked the site ten minutes later it was $1031.53. I think these things really must be made of Plutonium and he's just not being straight with me.
Now I HAVE to have them. Who can loan me a grand?

You MUST keep us updated... I too would like some plutonium spoons. Or perhaps they are magical as you first guessed. I hope they make every farking thing you make turn out tasting fantastic, you know, more fantastic than even if you used regular spoons and measured perfectly to the recipe.
