Ok, so I tried the spoon/fork/toothpick balancing thing and it actually worked :) It kind of reminded me of the balancing bird that we used for one of the labs. The handle of the fork and spoon are kind of like the bird's weighted wings that are extended below its head. That's why I think the CM is located in the air, between the ends of the fork and spoon (which I guess is the support area). This "experiment" proves that the CM is not always at the geometric center but depends on the distribution of the object's mass. It was also like the lab we recently did where we had to balance a 200 g mass at the 5 cm mark of a meter stick. The torque of toothpick's weight had to equal the torque of the spoon/fork (I think).
