User:God of tongs/Sample page

The creation of tongs is a long forgotten mystery. Although rumor has it that the first tongs were created by one Jonas woodrough. An American born in the early 1930's. Woodrough spent his late twenties traveled to Gansu, China where he discovered the use of chop sticks. Much to his surprise the Chinesew use of chopsticks was harder than he expected. While trying to master the use of this ancient tool, he invented a simple tool to help other western travels like himself. Jonas' inventions much like chop sticks included two sticks, ment for grabbing and manipulating food or food like objects with ease. Woodroughs inventions included a small metal bend between the two sticks, much like a spring. This would allow the user to pinch the two sticks together with ease, and also have the open back up to reuse for repetitive use, this would allow for a much simpler form of eating in far Eastern Asian countries. In further years the "tongs" have been adapted with larger spoon like ends to allow larger grapse of food. This is where they became a main tool in BBQ'd foods and salads.
