Are bananas a berry? And kiwis too?

Kiwis might be, but bananas are not. They are in the same family of fruit as neon license plate holders and the Pet Shop Boys.

Well, I was told bananas were berries by a person who is a close friend to another person who studies these kind of things. The teacher said so. It sounds wrong, but considering that bananas have no core( don't know the exact word, but the big seed in the middle..), but instead have many small seeds as berries have.

The banana is a herb and the banana plant is not a tree but is part of the lily family. It is the tallest plant on Earth without a wooden stem.

Wow, hadn't thought of either as being berries.

Though apparently, bananas are about 96% identical to our DNA.

And daddy long-legs aren't arachnids. Did you know that?

Is this true? So... we came from... chimps and bananas??:eek:

we might even be more identical to bananas than to chimps..

does this mean we're a herb? a lily?

Q, are you being serious? A herb? Bananas are a giant herb from which we humans actually spring. :D That could explain our fascination and love for herbs. We want to reconnect....with the banana within.

Have you considered writing soft porn ? :D

No, did that turn you on? :eek:

Not really, but it did make me wish I was the "banana within." ;)

Nasty. We don't know where she's been.

Hey! Stop it! Both of you. Sure, I am a castle of germs, but I should not be mocked for it. :o

castle of germs?

Where did that sneak in from?

Bebelina is a castle of groovyness. :D

I liked the sound of it.

:rolleyes: ...

My personal favorite is "germ farm". Maybe there should be a "euphimisms for slut" thread.

Ok Walker, that was rude and out of line.

Well, that's me in a nutshell.

But I just thought I was being funny.

I hope you weren't referring to Bebelina with that stuff.

*pushes Walker back in line*

And no cutting mister!

part of the mosquito family.. howeer.. they are one of the most posionous "spiders" found here.... but they teeth are too small too bite..... (lets just hope their genetic makeup never skips a beat!!)

A daddy-long-legs is a spider in Australia. I believe the name is used for different creatures in England, USA, and Australia, and probably in other places.

Fact: Male nudity is ALWAYS funny.

Yes, especially in the combination with bananas and spiders.

Weirdos. :p

Tarantulas eat bananas or something don't they? :confused:
