Why are bananas curved?

They are grown outside the EU so dont have to conform to the same standards that apply to cucumbers.

Strange but true Bananas were used to launch ships They were the ideal to lubriacate slipways.

Another fact, bananas are good for scratching that itch.

Question................If you call an orange "an orange", why don't you call a banana "a yellow"?

coyoteboy - 12/10/15 at 06:35 PM

Because an orange is called an orange and is also colored orange. Whereas a banana is called a banana

The word orange is a bad french/english interpretation of the orignal sanskrit word Naranja that stuck(the spanish got it right), the colour was previously refered to as saffron.

I'm just wild about Saffron, and Saffron's wild about me.
They call it mellow yellow.

The following is a link to a Youtube video where a banana is used by some religious types as proof that God created the universe. The comments below the video are worth a read as well
