Do you think forks evolved from spoons?

Browsing through the random questions offered in the profile section I stumbled across this only to find that my answer was far too long. Hence, here it is as a test-post. (I promise that future posts on this site will not be silverware orientated... well at least not that often!)



Do you think forks evolved from spoons?


No, but I suppose a spoon could have evolved from a fork.


I figure the first implement people used to eat was actually a handy weapon... they just stabbed their meat with a knife and bit off chunks.


Then one day the predecessor to modern mothers everywhere said 'Damn it, Boris, you're breaking all our knives! I want you to use this dull two pronged stick instead.'


Silently furious, Boris obliged and later found that the two pronged stick made a great weapon too... it helped to stop bigger blokes from sticking him with longer
knives.


Later this developed into full scale war where one day a really old Boris, who had never told his mother how angry her constant prattle made him, decided that instead of sticking the two pronged stick into a guy he wanted to find a way to really scare him... hence the spoon.



Of course, I might have just watched Robin Hood too many times ;0)
