Half of your genes are banana genes

It takes only 42 folds of a piece of standard white paper to reach the moon. Douglas Adams would be proud.

Some turtles can breath through their butts. No data on what it smells like.

The official animal of Scotland is the unicorn.

The heraldic unicorn is pictured as being chained, because according to folklore a free unicorn was a dangerous beast.

That's the last time anyone makes fun of me for my extensive unicorn art collection.

Wow unicorn art AND assless chaps collections!

Anything else you want us to know about?

I think I know people who are at least 90 percent banana.

Nah, I'm just bananas.

I like this thread so much I wish that I could Like it twice. I'm no expert on genetics, but I am guessing 50% is an average for all human genomes, IMMV. If you're 50% banana, and you mate with someone who is also 50% banana, will your children be 100% bananas?

Given you are 98% chimpanze that makes sense

No, being banana is like being Italian. If each of your parents are 50% Italian, you're 50% Italian. If one parent is 50% Italian and the other is 0%, you're 25%. And if both your parents are 100% bananas, you're likely to be 100% banana too.

What I want to know is which one of our ancestors that was 100% human and fucked a banana to have kids. [Note to evangelicals: this was a joke.]

That means we are 49% cannibals, right?

Plenty of lonely woman since the beginning of time have at least tried.

If not a banana then something...

Given evangelicals believe their Lord and Savior was born unto a virgin woman a woman impregnated by a banana shouldn't be too much of a streach.

Come to think of randy ol' Zeus used to go around knocking up pretty young things by appearing as a swan or - I kid you not - a golden shower:

So why not a banana?

I wonder if some of the genetic similarity between bananas and humans might actually result from cross-polination. Around 10% of the human genome consists of viral DNA that infected our ancestors. Single-cell bacteria can exchange genes directly. Primates living among the banana trees, eating the bananas, swallowing the seeds and (ahem) fertilizing and spreading them, might have created many opportunities for cross-pollination. I wonder if other plants that have less history with our ancestors might also have less genetic similarity to us.

Well, if women used bananas as dildos from time immemorial, and there was transgenic transfer, then how much of our genome is cucumber?

For some more than others.
