About Me
I'm a writer. I run a horror blog at www.skullring.org. I've interviewed tons of cool people, from Bruce Campbell to Joe R. Lansdale. None of them were dicks. I'm a huge fan of folklore and fable, particularly the dark stuff and especially modern myths like vampires and ghosts, but I'm a huge skeptic. I don't believe in anything I can't take to a lab, dissect, measure and label. I'm a pretty friendly guy, feel free to email me and say hello.
Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?
It's likely the other way around. A sharp stick was probably one of the first eating utensils, which over time could easily have become a fork. A spoon, it would seem, might take a bit more technical finesse to produce. I'm over-thinking this, aren't I?
