Banana > Atheist

[senorpogo]

After reading through this post, I'm seriously hungry for bananas.

OK. Bananas designed for humans. Check.

Now, who the f*ck were pomegranates designed for? Sloppy creatures, I'd wager.

so long, fleshy, curved objects are designed to go in the mouth.

excuse me, I have to run this information by my girlfriend.

Curved, Harry, not horribly misshapen.

As you can see, this supports the theory that the eyes and nose are designed for spectacles...

I'm an atheist, and bananas don't terrify me. In fact, I eat bananas for breakfast. Sometimes. I did yesterday.

Cool. I was eating a banana for breakfast just as I was reading your post.

Parapharsing from video: "bananas are even curved towards the face to make the whole process easier"

When I picked up a banana, it was curved the wrong way, and now I don't know what to do. Why does God hate me?

You bought the wrong bananas, those are for your neighbors across the street. Perhaps they can trade you for bananas of opposite parity.

Not so simple. You have to trade with someone in the opposite hemisphere. It’s a clockwise-counterclockwise thing.

I don't like bananas. Why would Yahweh design me like that? But I love walnuts, which are way more trouble to get into. Perhaps it's a punishment for my sin.

That's an urban myth, based on a misunderstanding of the Coriolis effect. The effect of hemisphere on banana curl can only be measured with the most sensitive of instruments, and is unlikely to interfere with ordinary consumption.

Being serious for a second, bananas are chosen for their curviness, and any straight ones are discarded before they even get to the supermarket, because consumers don't like them. The idea that bananas are naturally curvy is nonsense, they are bred for maximum curve simply because of fashion.

I have eaten straight bananas and can confirm that they taste the same as the curvy kind and if anything are a little ruder.

That is one erotic video. I don't think i should let my kids watch it

Considering how complicated this is, God really should have printed instructions on the peel. Everyone else who designs food does this.

I’ve heard it said that monkeys (and I know for a fact that people w/hand injuries) open bananas from the other end -- it’s substantially easier. I suppose that would make the tab God created for opening it actually a handle God made for holding it.

But the real question is how long will it take for the Banana Splits to be canonized?

Damn it. Now I'll be singing the theme song for "The Banana Splits" show.

 

[bluess]

Wow, my 1000 post. On The Banana Splits. Yep, sometimes its all about quantity, not quality

That sort of thing steams me... the idea of perfectly good food wasted because it has the wrong appearance. Are they at least doing something sensible such as bringing these too-straight bananas to a food bank or a homeless shelter where the patrons aren't as picky?

 

[shemp]

I think we need some advice from a religious authority. Let's ask Pope Frankenstein what he thinks. Pope Frankenstein, is it true that bananas > atheists?

...

Well?

...

Hmmm, I guess he's not answering today. Maybe tomorrow.

They're discarded at source so are most probably sold to locals, although where possible they breed out the straightness to avoid waste. However, there are EU rules about bananas being too curvy, too. It's all rather silly, really.
