Last Call

Very cool story over at AmericaBlog:  the Roman Army Knife made centuries before the Swiss ever got around to it.
The world's first Swiss Army knife' has been revealed - made 1,800 years before its modern counterpart.

An intricately designed Roman implement, which dates back to 200AD, it is made from silver but has an iron blade.

It features a spoon, fork as well as a retractable spike, spatula and small tooth-pick.

Experts believe the spike may have been used by the Romans to extract meat from snails.
Good ideas never go out of style.
