Monologuing

[Gorefiend]

The link was, interesting.... I've read it before, actually.

And, If you don't mind, I'll go on with the chopstick monologue....

When you factor in the amount of variants (may be a different word here...) of our western utensils, the superiority of the chopstick is truely clear. Today, there is a type of fork, knife, or spoon for just about every concievable food related purpose. Such an amount of utensils becomes dauntingly confusing quickly. However, there is only one pair of chopsticks for all purposes. Coupled with the slurping, there is no way to become confused. We must also remember that, while there are three main types of western utensils-fork, knife, and spoon- there is, once again, one universal pair of chopsticks. And, while there are strict rules on the proper use of these three utensils, there is one universal way to use the chopsticks, which works 75% of the time. The remaining times are when slurping is requred.
