How much do you want to bet that the current from this fork makes it more likely a person will develop tongue cancer or some other disease.

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature.

It's a fork for mothers, probably tells one if she's pregnant or not. Gee, I want to invent other version like, it can tell if a lady using is hot or not. wheeew, that's nice.

You just made me realise that this thing isn't new. I have heard many times "get me a fresh fork 'n battery."

Go figure.

They might be up with dehydration or probably muscle cramps side effects. Not enough salts in the body could pose a lot of subsequent effects in its physiology.
