A good question. I believe a scientific experiment would answer it to a degree that would satisfy your obvious curiosity and unbelievable mental capacity.
1) Stand on top of the tallest structure you can find during a lightning storm (Make sure it's a really good storm not one of those stupid ones that last a few minutes)
2) Hold fork in hand and extend upwards.
3) Wait for lightning to strike fork (This may take a while)
4) Await response from Paramedics and/or Coroner.
5) Should stage 4 not be neccessary then Post results and conclusions on YA! I for one can't wait for them.
Good luck in finding out the answer.
