All right thinking people understand the admonition against Fork-Winnowing and heterodox banana consumption...



But "wear not mixed fabrics"? That's Just LUDICROUS.

Bananas were forged by god to fit perfectly in a man's hand. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfucpGCm5hY) And butthole.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Butthole? You'd have to have a loose butthole to get a....oh wait.

[soliloquy76.livejournal.com]

Nah, just use the Holy Pull-Tab of Antioch™ on one end to access the built-in lube dispenser for the other end.

I love the helmets in the first panel. They are so, uh, suggestive!

also, you have yours linked with alternate text and stuff. I gotta step it up.

[mylaptopisevil.livejournal.com]

Wait wait wait.

Based on the sentence structure, thou shalt not:

1) Winnow with a fork – got it
2) Wear not mixed fabrics – so you should not not wear mixed fabrics? Mixed fabrics or death?
3) Thou shalt not open the wrong end of a banana – so you should not not open the wrong end of a banana? So you should open the wrong end of the banana? But does being told to open the wrong end of a banana make it the right end to open, at which point you should open the other end until that is the right one to open? Is this an infinite loop of banana openings being wrong to open the moment they stop being the wrong-right ones to open?

No wonder they all exploded.

That ain't nothin'!

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Thou shall close the right beginning of the banana.

I am unsure, but I believe the banana thing was fabricated for comedic value.

I recently read through the five books of Moses, and was taking notes on things that needed explanation; I do not recall seeing that, and it would have stuck out.

So I dunno if it's legit. I mean, I coulda missed it. But can anyone cite what passage that would be referring to?

[johnny9fingers.livejournal.com]

Nah, that's not how the meaning of that sentence structure works even though the clauses aren't separated by colons or full stops. :)

Ooer, did I write "colons"... Oops.

Of course God is pyscho. Humans are made in his image, and have you seen some of the shit we do?!

[unnamed525.livejournal.com]

To be created in the image of God means to be an agent, even though we are finite agents and God is the infinite agent.

I think, sometimes, making fun of the bible is done incorrectly. There's enough crazy shit in there, nobody needs to make stuff up.

Although, of course, it also contradicts itself sometimes, but even so, there's no commandment about how to eat banana's. And using such a farce, IMO, undermines the seriousness of those who reject religion for what is not only farcical, but also, sadly, actually in the so-called "holy" book.

I've yet to hear any decent apologetics for the mixed-fabric one. Although one Jewish associate I have said there are 3 categories of God's law.

1) Those any of us can reach, just with reason (e.g. don't kill/steal)
2) Those that are God's Law, and his reasoning is beyond us (e.g. mixed-fabric prohibition, why food X is kosher and food Y is not)
3) ....I forget the third category. But I recall it cause he was admitting, sometimes, we will just never know why, but we better follow anyway. =(

That's why I prefer the King James version. It has unicorns!

[brother-dour.livejournal.com]

I instantly thought of the OT commandments about shellfish and women not cutting their hair when I read the bananas part. I think those kinds of things are what the cartoonist was referencing.

[anfalicious.livejournal.com]

It's a fictional universe so they've made up laws equally silly as the Bible that it is parodying. Just like how the characters in Battlestar Gallactica say "frak".

I've always opened the blossom-end of bananas, it's much easier, and the stem acts as a nice handle. People who observe me peeling bananas sometimes tell me I'm doing it wrong or just ask why I do it in such a fashion. I tell them it's much easier. It also is easier to deal with that nasty "root" in that end, it almost always gets pulled out during the peeling.

In school I used to freak people out by having pre-sliced bananas that have never been opened. Open it up, there were perfect slices inside. I used to say they were special bananas I used to get at the Army commissary, and they were part of the c-rations I would also get on occasions. I never revealed my secret :D

[anfalicious.livejournal.com]

OK, so I just tried that and it squished the end and still left the root in place. I imagine it takes a little practice but I'll give it a go.

It's like that eat an apple from the end and you have no core thing. That's a lie. The reason you don't have a core is because you eat it. People reckoned you couldn't tell when you were eating the core, but you sure as hell can. Not to mention the seeds taste the same no matter what way you eat it. Eating it from the end just makes it harder to hold.

Hrm. OK, I'm getting the stem-as-handle thing, but it's breaking away. Do you tend to eat your bananas unripe (ie. still all yellow), this banana is ripe (i.e. spotted with brown) and it doesn't have the same structural integrity eating it this way.

By the end the stem has broken off and I'm left with three bits of banana peel instead of just the one I get eating it the other way... I am not convinced.

I love Oft Dirty. And I laughed so hard at this comic.

As the OT shows, the trick is to smite your own followers just enough

I love Oft Dirty.

Honey, your spell-check is showing.
