I knew three of the magazines, but I have never heard of Pitchfork - and had I known what I was, I would have gotten the sharp objects one as well.
The other one I had problems with was, figuring out which of the "unchanging" ones was the odd one out.

I have never heard of a spit being used as a weapon; it's something you use for roasting over an open flame. It's similar to a skewer, but you rotate the meat on the spit over the fire.

Wiz,

Both spellings are valid, but the words have different meanings: one is an incendiary device; the other is synonymous with style.
