I forgot to say that I mentioned Lonnit's name because given my scenario, the third fork is necessary to keep everything balanced. -- Victor

Julian and Lonnit,

Pictured here is almost something I tend to do too much at restaurants if I have access to that many forks, or perhaps spoons. I say almost, because it doesn't look like it's quite there. What I do is to intertwine the forks so that they all balance -- one fork literally holds up the other two. Yesterday I did this with a spoon and a knife. The knife was resting on the spoon. I then placed empty half-and-half cups on each end of the knife (just a dab of jam on the bottom to keep them from slipping off) to offer some wind resistance. Then I blew the whole contraption until it was spinning quite rapidly. (yes, I know I'm weird) -- Victor

I like! I'd nudge it down a bit though; the top forks are a bit too hight. I think I might have preferred only 2 forks, eliminating the one to the right. The 2 left ones overlap to form a criss-cross pattern. The right one interupts that pattern. It would have been more minimal with 2 forks. Then I'd expand the crop so that the vertical fork was on the right line of thirds and the left fork was on the upper line of thirds. And then it would have been Lonnit's picture, not yours, LOL! ;) Now, all this yabbering doesn't mean that I don't like it... I do. :) ~ LOnnit
