My cleaner's Bulgarian and she always puts my forks back in the wrong drawer. I don't think she knows what they are. The Chinese invented forks in 27,000 BC during the Tang dynasty, but their use as food implements was not discovered until the middle of the Third Kingdom of Aethereal Blessings, when the Grand Yang had entered it's ninth Charm. Before that they had been used as ceremonial halberds by the Chipmunk Guard. When all the chipmunks died following the Killer Rice Plague of Yuan Dong Ho people found it very convenient to use the forks to barbecue the tiny beasties. Parents learned from their children to eat the carbonised flesh directly from the forks and lo! a cutlery was born.
