so we can dry out the skins and smoke'em?

ok never mind

I knew they were clones -there's a danger of disappearing altogether because if there's a banana blight there won't be resistant strains because they're all the same.... or something. But I didn't know they were herbs and when I googled that it seems that the plants are herbs rather than trees, but bananas are still a fruit.

hmm, according to WikiP, pineapple does contain citric acid. It is pretty sour, so I can see where the similarities are.

I heard that clone thing before.

I heard the clone thing and the disappearing thing. But I also heard the disappearing thing is a myth and that there are tons of varieties out there, and that they would just have to plant new ones but it would take a while to ramp up.

These are not the clones you are looking for

DanaC · 01-25-2011, 03:34 PM

ahahahahahah

Bitch I was sipping a baileys.

Fucking burning nose and throat now.

okay, I wouldn't call a banana an "herb" but it does come from an herbaceous plant, just like a carrot:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbaceous_plant

Quote:

A herbaceous plant (in botanical use simply herb) is a plant that has leaves and stems that die down at the end of the growing season to the soil level. They have no persistent woody stem above ground.[1] Herbaceous plants may be annuals, biennials or perennials.[2]

am learning much! (sick at home today)

I'm scared of banana plants. spiders live there.

monster · 01-25-2011, 03:47 PM

Spiders live everywhere. Or are the banana plants in league with them? Shh, she's comng, quick, hide in my herby folds and jump out when I wiggle my left banana. No, the other left..... well put one leg behind each banana then. Srsly, you're too slow, she's gone already.... why don't you weave a web in my fronds that says something special. like "whale penis". That'll get her good.....

Cloud · 01-25-2011, 03:51 PM

ETA: i scared myself googling this. This thread was making me hungry--now I'm too scared to eat!

jimhelm · 01-25-2011, 03:52 PM
