Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?
I think they did - eons ago they climbed out of the primordial slime, and unable to adapt to the foods of the times, gradually, in series of natural selections, developed sharp tines that could grab on to spagetthi and flourish!!These are the forks we know, and love, today!
