Where have all the bloody teaspoons gone? research

This is possibly one of the most mildly amusing pieces of research I've
read and it's one I have the honour to use to make an important point
about the costs of this phenomenon to a charity.

I'm not going to detail this research. Its far too beautiful in its own
form and a useful learning tool for understanding research practice.
Geeks like me will love this research.

Doctors clearly have a sense of humour as can be found in the responses.
