Are those different then Plantain's?  I think they are used in some Cuban recipes.  I've seen plantain's in our local grocery.
I didn't know that the "bone" in the banana was a real one.  Cool.

Your brain generates enough power(while you are awake) to light a small bulb. The power generated can be about 23 watts.

So maybe this is more real then bizarre afterall!  ;)

yeah right  I live in California and in a place where the sun fries everything.  I don't really know if air conditioning really makes any difference, but a shade tent would.

I knew a guy who totaled his brand new Toyota Corolla because he mounted two of those deer whistles on the front of his car but he didn't read the instructions right and he accidentally put them on backwards, so instead of scaring the deer off like they were supposed to they attracted them. One night he was driving down the interstate when 20 deer suddenly ran out of the woods and directly into the path of his car and he slammed into them at 70 mph.  :o

I'm gonna say not BS, but not quite true.  Some cursory Internet research reveals:

There are lots of "xerophilous" (dryness-favoring) flowers in the Atacama, such as the "Schizanthus litoralis," aka the Butterfly flower or Poor Man's orchid, but this flower is in the nightshade family nor the Orchidaceae family, so it's not a true orchid.

My guess for the Caribbean being saltier is its latitude and its eutrophic environment leading to a greater amount of saline deposits than seas colder, more open, and farther from land.  Of course, sometimes I don't check to see if I'm FOS or not.

As the map below shows, the Mediterranean is far saltier.

Shhh...that stick of Bazooka you swallowed in 2006 is trying to dislodge!

Actually, what my friend Kyle's mother used to say was this:

"If you swallow chewing gum it sticks to your lungs for seven years."  Not ribs.  It was lungs.  I remember now.  And I thought Mrs. Whitley ought to know because she's a nurse.  What Mrs. Whitley was really trying say is, "Don't swallow gum because it's not good for you."  However, she was one of those grownups who thought kids won't listen to admonitions unless you scare them.  When you're six-and-a-half, seven years is an awfully long time.  Seven is a magic number.  It rings of truth.  Seven years is a time span in lots of Bible stories.  Why lungs?  I guess because you know from a very early age your lungs let you breathe and if you can't breathe you die.  Therefore, you better not bind up your lungs with bubble gum.  What Mrs. Whitley didn't explain -- and what we did not know enough anatomy to ask -- is, if stuff you swallow goes to your lungs, why don't you drown when you drink a glass of water? 

I wish adults would not push such canards on children because they encourage cynicism -- and even atheism -- later in life.

The word Amazon derives from ancient Greek a - without and mazos - breasts.  The legend of Amazon women comes from a legendary tribe of all-female Scythian warriors who had one breast removed in order to improve their bow-drawing and javelin-throwing skills. 

Earlier European explorers of the Amazon basin reported seeing a band of ferocious female warriors who they called "Amazons," after the legendary Scythian warriors. 

So, when you refer to the Amazon River, you're talking about the No-Tit River!

It was well known in the Delta that Miss Jameson was insistent on being addressed as "Aunt Flo."  Being the proper, genteel Southern lady she was, most of the time when someone failed to address her by what she felt was her proper title, she would simply let them off with a gentle admonishment. However, there were occasions (about 12 times a year) when the same offense would cause her to explode in fits of furious rage. On one of these occasions (in 1909), Jameson had to spend ten days in jail in Vicksburg after violently twisting the nutsack of a local sheriff's deputy who innocently addressed her as "Flo."  There were conflicting reports about the incident, but legend has it that while she was assaulting the deputy, several of the townspeople heard Jameson scream, "THAT'S AUNT FLO, MOTHERF***ER!"
