			'''The Fork in the Stone at York''' was a prank involving the installation of an approximately 4' long fork in a concrete base at York University in 2012. Following similar pranks involving [[Sword in the Stone\|Swords in the Stone]] at [[Sword in the Stone at McMaster (2011)\|McMaster in 2011]] and [[Sword in the Stone at Waterloo (2012)\|Waterloo in 2012]], it was decided that York University would also deserve a present. Since York engineers did not have a mascot, Skule™ engineers decided that a fork would be fitting (derived from the chant "If you can hold a fork, you can go to York").

Unfortunately, the York students did not properly extract the fork. One student attempted to free the fork by pulling it sideways from the base.
