So, I just learned a new word.
This is a 22 inch long baculum from a walrus.
If you don’t know what that is, I’ll just let you wiki it on your own.

Things I just learned about the banana
  1. Wild bananas contain hard, peppercorn-like seeds and are generally inedible
  2. Two mutant, seedless varieties have been cultivated by man for thousands of years and are the source for most bananas eaten today. 
  3. These bananas are sterile, and can only propogate via shoots from the parent plant. 
  4. This has led to lack of genetic diversity and disease resistance, and the worldwide banana crop is in danger from a pandemic fungus. 
  5. Bananas are one of the biggest staple crops in the world. 
  6. Ripe bananas floresce under UV light; animals that can see into the UV range may be able to spot ripe bananas. 
  7. “Banana” comes from the Wolof language of Senegal, The Gambia, and Mauritania. 
  8. Bananas are indigeneous to Southeast Asia. 
  9. Availability of bananas in the United States and Europe was slim before the advent of refrigerated shipping. 
  10. Bananas exported to America are picked green and artificially ripened. Tree-ripened bananas taste better.

Hey, I love Wikipedia, but seriously how much can it possibly cost to keep it going?  They even stress that it’s run by volunteers
