	Wooden spoon (award) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The wooden spoon at Cambridge, England was originally associated with the Cambridge University Mathematical Tripos exams, and was a kind of booby prize awarded by students to their fellow student ranked lowest in the final exams.
		How the Cambridge wooden spoon idea came to be used in Rugby union is not exactly known, but in the early years of the Six Nations Championship there were many Cambridge graduates playing, so they may have attempted to preserve the concept after the last one was awarded in 1909.
		The Wooden Spoon is almost entirely a tradition amongst fans, though in 2005, Basingstoke Bison head coach Mark Bernard accepted it on behalf of his team.

	Wooden spoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wooden spoons have been made in virtually every nation on earth and (compared to silver or pewter or gold spoons) represent the ordinary artisan and reflect the life of ordinary folk: this is their "folk art".
		Before electric mixers became common, wooden spoons were often used to cream butter and sugar in recipes such as shortbread or Victoria sponge cake.
		Each spoon could contain different meaning as shown by the use of various symbols, for instance: a chain would mean a wish to be together forever; a diamond would mean wealth or good fortune; a cross would mean faith; a flower would mean affection; or a dragon for protection.

	Penn History-Men's Senior Award Winners
		The tradition of awarding the "wooden spoon," as it was known in the 19th century, is so old that its origins apparently predate all student publications, including the class yearbook and student newspaper.
		The class of 1884, however, may have been the first to present it as a senior award, when it was reported, "The bowl, saved from the fight with the freshmen, was given to Reath as an evidence of his vieing with Sergeant [the winner of the Spoon Award] in esteem of the class."
		Awarded annually since that year, the cane is considered the 3rd most prestigious award given to the senior men.

	Rugby union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However the ball may only be kicked from the ground: either from a place kick following the award of a penalty or from a drop kick in open play.
		This is awarded if the attacking side is responsible for sending the ball into the in-goal area, but instead of their player grounding the ball and scoring a try it is first grounded by a defender.
		The player in front is either accidentally or deliberately offside and the referee would award either a scrum or a penalty to the opposing side, depending on whether the infringement was viewed as accidental or deliberate.

	Across Wales Walk: Wooden Spoon
		This treasured icon of the event is awarded intermittently to the most deserving entrant, checker or even outside organisation that has perhaps contributed to some ‘cock-up’, endured exceptional suffering, or just made the event a little special.
		In 1987, the spoon was awarded, perhaps rather cruelly, to Nev Tandy who, having completed the ridge route of the Pyrenees, was then rarely defeated by the Across Wales.
		Peter Stevenson narrowly avoided the award: his description of the hazards of the new route - quicksand in Mochdre Brook and a wife-murdering farmer with 60 bulls who is known to offer walkers poisoned chocolate - prompted the organisers to compile an alternative guide to the event based upon his warnings.
