Life is full of mysteries that leave us wondering and scratching our heads. Lice can also do this. But if you have a question about life, or even about lice, this is your chance to ask it. Just shoot me an email, at TippyGnu [at] gmx.com. Or, if you don’t feel like shooting me, you can ask the question in a comment.
Today’s question comes from the author of Encyclopedia Brittanica, Carolyn Shelton, over at Nuggets of Gold.
Carolyn is adding an article to her encyclopedia, about a new fruit, recently discovered in the heart of a dark, tropical jungle. The fruit is called the “banana.” That’s pronounced “ban-ANN-uh.”
Perhaps you’re rich, and can afford this expensive, exotic fruit. If so, then Carolyn needs your help, for her article.
Just remember, there are no stupid questions. So here’s Carolyn’s: What is the perfect banana? A. All yellow with just a tinge of green on it, or B. Yellow with brown spots.

I think she probably butters both sides of the banana before eating them anyway, so it may not matter.

I think so. And the butter turns the banana all yellow. In fact, she probably likes bananas because they’re the same color as butter.

I think the Carolyn method is to peal the banana, coat it with butter, role it in sugar, dip it in cream, drizzle on some molasses, and give it another coating of sugar before eating.

Well, I’ll put my two-cents worth in. I like my bananas to have a little bit of green on them. I don’t want yucky brown spots. And I’m not the only one. More than 67% of all monkeys surveyed, share the same preference.
