An allergic reaction to a banana isn't very common, but it does happen. Some people are allergic to the form of protein contained in the banana. Additionally, if you're allergic to the banana, you could also be allergic to watermelon, cantaloupe kiwi, avocado and chestnuts and latex. Some people aren't actually allergic to bananas, they're allergic to the gas used to ripen bananas.
That really just depends on the size of the bananas, so I suggest getting out your handy-dandy measuring cup and slicing some nanners!

Answer: There's supposed to be a serious reason, being that there's one or more nutrients in fish which are apparently good for the brain. But I've always thought the question is a joke, because fish are said to travel in schools. Get it, fish are smart because they're in schools? Ha-Ha!
^ Most amusing, LOL.
Thoughts are essentially electrical signals that travel along pathways, or connections, between brain cells, called neurons. The connections are not quite complete, and to move between neurons, signals must make a tiny jump. Omega-3 fatty acids help these signals to jump that gap faster. The richest source of Omega-3 is fish, so eating lots of fish really does make us smarter. === === FIsh are high in phosphorus. At one time, phosphorus concertration was considered to be proportional to brain efficiency.

That doesn't sound right. Did you notice that the question said DRIED bananas?
yes. when i mummy tree & a daddy tree love each other very much they create a monkey :) i also know that... At my recent reading at Warwick's bookstore, I was asked why monkeys peel bananas "upside-down." My flippant answer was that I don't answer "monkey questions," but the truth is that I just didn't know. However, Slate, the online magazine that usually writes about important things, answered the question in 2002. "Monkeys are the real experts" in peeling bananas, writes Steven E. Landsberg during a discussion of whether bananas are better eaten - by humans - from the bottom up. (I vote against. He's non-committal; Landsberg also claims to know a guy who "scoops out the seeds" before eating a banana. Since bananas are seedless, this is a miracle, and whoever this fellow is, he needs to talk to banana breeders immediately.) Some other general monkey/banana questions:
Q: Do monkeys eat bananas?

Q: Do they peel the bananas prior to eating.

BONUS QUESTION: Do gorillas get bananas from trees, or vending machines?
A: See the bottom of this post.

Where was banana cream pie invented?
No one knows who invented key lime pie. The particular lime called the Key Lime was brought to America by the Spanish. Key Lime Pie would have been created after condensed milk had been invented. True key lime pie requires juice from the round Key Lime and not the juice from the oblong Persian Lime. Key Lime juice has a higher pH than Persian Lime Juice, which means it is not as acidic and it has a far more pleasant aftertaste. That juice is mixed with condensed milk and other ingredients.
Where is the banana spider found?
The banana spider is a common name used for two entirely different species of spiders, the nephila clavipes of North America, and the phoneutria of Central and South America, the latter of which can be deadly.
The phoneutria or South American banana spider is a large, aggressive spider with a body length of about 1.3 inches (3 cm). This banana spider primarily makes its home in the rain forests but can also be found in cities, where, between 1970 and 1980 it was reportedly responsible for the hospitalization of some 7,000 people in southeastern Brazil.
The nephila clavipes banana spider of North America possesses venom similar in nature to the venom of the black widow, but far less potent, making it quite harmless to humans. A bite from a North American banana spider will not result in much more than a welt that will pass within 24 hours.
