    Because we already know that Banana =/ Fruit, since Banana = Berry

    Ok...If I am following this strange logical construct based on this strange axiom.

    Banana = Berry (Proven)
    Penis = Banana (Theory)
    So...
    Penis/Banana = Berry (Correlation)

    Then does that mean that when either
    is introduced into the butt, would that
    make both dingle berries? o_O

    This strange string of equations is a whole
    new level of madness. :p

    Strawberries aren't raspberries, but bananas are avocados, and lawyers are eggnog when the wind is left.

    As many ways as there are to read books for free on the internet that you're supposed to pay for first, that I've partaken in, if anything I write is pirated I don't really have the right to get upset about it, or I'd be a hypocrite.

    I fear, dear friend that we reached a dead-end in regards to this solution, since I seem to lack a probable test-subject to test this out. Oh, your dirty mind, no! I'm just a humble theorist.

    But yet!

    Theoretically speaking, the annal region would have to be unshaven in order to produce dingle berries, if I'm not mistaken and the gut would have to be practically unloaded. Btw, what confuses me... (I just googled what dingleberries mean. Good to know. The things I learn from here). The definition says it's directed towards animals. Does human count as animal too?

    J.F.C! I've been going to court with eggnog for so long! Things are starting to make sense. Next time, I'm checking the direction of the wind one day prior.

    The original Latin Alphabet which is the source for most European alphabets, including the English, has twenty-seven letters:
    1. A
    2. B
    3. C
    4. D
    5. E
    6. V
    7. Z
    8. H
    9. Θ
    10. I
    11. K
    12. L
    13. M
    14. N
    15. Ξ
    16. O
    17. P
    18. Ś
    19. Q
    20. R
    21. S
    22. T
    23. Y
    24. X
    25. Φ
    26. Ψ
    27. F
    They're not even in the same order! And there may not be an I in team, but there's no U in Latin either.

    The ampersand (&) was originally just called 'and' in English. Traditionally, when reciting the alphabet upon reaching the end, they used to way, "and per se (by itself), and." Eventually, generations of slurring school children with a waning appreciation for Latin, eventually transformed the phrase into the name we give the symbol today.

    They certainly weren't bananas when I was in school. But then, we were also led to believe that tomatoes were vegetables, so what do I know. :confuzled:

    Who says that nature doesn't have a sense of humor?
    Sharks have been around for millions of years before
    humans. Though by the look of internal organs ( a
    brain, and reproductive tract), that it will use similar
    patterns to make some interesting evolutionary developments.
    Or in simplistic terms, sharks and women have similar
    interior designers. :p

    The Roman Poet Ovid in his Metamorphosis is the primary source for a number of pre-existing Greek legends, but he changed a number of them to reflect what appears to be his anti-authority biases; emphasising the flaws of the gods. Medusa was originally born a monster, and the original version of Arachne placed less emphasis on Athena's jealousy but more Arachne's hubris in mocking the gods with a disrespectful tapestry right to a god's face.

    Monowi, Nebraska (pop. 1) is the smallest town in the United States. Its sole resident pays around $500 in city taxes every year to keep the town's three streetlights lit and the water running.

    Alphabetical order is so arbitrary. When my kid was two, I seriously considered teaching him the alphabet out of order, even the song, just to mess with his teachers when he started school. I thought it would be funny if he knew all his letters and could read just fine, but only had them memorized in my own random configuration. Kindergarten starts Wednesday. I'm SO glad I resisted that impulse. :whistle:
