The act of opening a banana from it's opposite end, commonly chipping away at it's darkened stub with your thumbnails, then peeling it back per usual.
The benefit of this is that If the top of the banana is acting particularly stubborn, the Pitman method prevents damage to the banana and/or requiring the use of exterior tools to open the banana successfully.
Consoquently, the Bottom of the banana can become equally, if not more, damaged. But I know at least two people, including myself, who choose to discard of the bottom bit, as it's got a slightly bitter bit at the very end.

Get the Melody mug.A method for gathering data about the world around us. Using the scientific method involves coming up with a hypothesis about how something works, and then trying as hard as you can to prove it wrong. If you can't prove yourself wrong then you cannot say you proved yourself right. you can only say you didn't disprove your hypothesis. In the scientific method you can never prove yourself right, you can only prove you weren't wrong. This is often seen as a tedious and annoying aspect of science by outsiders, but in fact scientific minded individuals gain great joy in being skeptical of everything. If you cannot diprove your hypothesis than it is usually phrased something like "The data supported our hypothesis." This is generally followed by a detailed explanation of everything that could have been wrong with your research that could have led to a failure to disprove yourself. Through this method something can become considered a theory only if many many generations of scientists have failed to find any way to prove the hypothesis wrong. This is a considerable accomplishment as most scientists will spend their entire lives finding critiques in method or theory in the research of others, and trying to find a way to disprove their findings. Information acquired in this way is the only information that can be trusted to have any semblance of truth.
Did you hear about how video games make children violent?
Was the scientific method used to reach this conclusion?
Hey a recent study found that fake sweetener can give you cancer.
That study was never replicated.
Evolution is just a theory.
If by theory you mean a conclusion that genarations of researchers have failed to find any way to disprove in hundreds of years time then yes it is.

Get the Melody mug.Melody is one of the cutest girls you will ever know. She is super shy and awkward but when you get to know her it ends up being one of the amazing features about her. She tries her best to be friends with everybody even when she shouldn't. She loves so many different animals especially the ones you don't normally think of when you think of pets. She loves to dye her hair all the time and has an amazing body. She loves to cuddle and sleep an over amount. She's a very good listener and will listen and try her best to help you with everything even if it doesn't help her at all. She will go the full way to try and get what she wants. She genuinely cares for people, and wants everyone to care for her back. She loves attention but doesn't want to be the center of attention because she's shy. Melody is that girl you'll fall in love with and try to hint at it whenever you talk or hang out.
