kidatheart: Hmmmm, that's odd, it's the oppsite here. a spade is a curved shovel for digging, in the shape of a spade like on a playing card, and a shovel is something used to convey horse, cow, pig, sheep pucky, or any other loose fluffy sort of material or pucky.
yep that's how i understood it too kid but, you know, didnt wanna be the one to start an argument
