A giant 18 feet wooden fork, painted to look like stainless steel may end up in the Guinness Book of World Records

36054 PASADENA CALIFORNIA November 25, 2009 A giant 18 feet wooden fork, painted to look like stainless steel, is attracting attention from the streets of Pasadena, California where it was planted and globally as word spreads of Guerrilla Art The Fork was an elaborate 75th birthday prank pulled by local artist Ken Marshall and other friends of Bob Stane, owner of Altadena's Coffee Gallery Backstage. It has amused locals, attracted a few detractors, and found Internet fans as far away as New Zealand.Unless a city engineering report shows it's a public danger, the Fork in the Road will stay at the fork in the road at St. John and Pasadena avenues for at least the next six months. Stane confirmed that his friends, in full Caltrans uniform complete with helmets and lights, dug the hole in dead of night. and said the fork in the road may end up in the Guinness Book of World Records. I hope it will be in many movies - the `Pasadena Fork in the Road, ' he said. Even if we're going to be arrested, I think we've added something to the community.
