too many bananas

I was trying to find out about how many bananas one should eat each day and came to the conclusion that there is no such thing as eating too many bananas. To celebrate i think i will have a banana in my dinner protein shake and bake a loaf of banana bread this week.

I did, however, find a super interesting article called "Too Many Bananas, Not Enough Pineapples, and No Watermelon at all" written by an anthrAopologist named David Counts of McMaster University.

It was an interesting find and I think it's worth the read. DO IT. http://anthropology.uwaterloo.ca/WNB/TooManyBananas.html

For those of you too lazy to click on the link or (god forbid) acutally read the damn article, here are the three lessons that come out of his article.

• Lesson 1: In a society where food is shared or gifted as part of social life, you may not buy it with money.
• Lesson 2: Never refuse a gift, and never fail to return a gift. If you cannot use it, you can always give it away to someone else. There is no such thing as too much. There are never too many bananas.
• Lesson 3: Where reciprocity is the rule and gifts are the idiom, you cannot demand a gift, just as you cannot refuse a request.

Esentially, don't be a D Bag, be kind to people, accept and give gifts in kind. Speaking of random interent rummaging-have you tried out www.stumbleupon.com yet? it was a website developed to randomly take you to pages that it thinks you would be interested in based on criteria you give them when you sign up. i find it enjoyable for about 5 minutes at a time and you probably will too. Right after a cupcake website it stumbled upon this pic for me:
