spoon of Diocles

An ancient Greco-Roman surgical instrument described by the Roman encyclopedist Celsus (1st century CE) and attributed to the Greek physician Diocles of Carystus (4th century BCE). Its intended purpose was to safely extract barbed arrowheads through the original entry wound without causing additional tearing of soft tissues. It was designed to be inserted alongside the arrow, rotated so the arrowhead fits into the hole, and then withdrawn with the arrow enclosed.

A 22 cm metal tool found in the Domus del Chirurgo (Rimini, Italy) is considered by archaeologists to be one of the only physical examples.

Some historians believe that the physician of king Philip II of Macedon used a spoon of Diocles to successfully remove an arrow from the king's eye without disfiguring him.

Comically Large Spoon

A spoon that was present in King Bach's ice cream vine, where he had asked if he could have some of his friends ice cream. When King Bach's friend was presented this question, he said that King Bach could only consume one spoonful of the ice cream. (Context: The friend bought the ice cream and did not want to share all of the sweet frozen treat, a logical decision to make). When King Bach was given the yes to have only a spoonful of his friend's ice cream, he pulled out a comically large stainless steel spoon. With a smirk on his face, he opened the door to the freezer where the ice cream was stored, and would then consume a spoonful of the ice cream. Since the spoon was so comically large, King Bach would be able to consume all of the ice cream, while only having a spoonful.

"Can I get some ice cream?"

"Only a spoonful."
