A banana is an elongated, edible fruit – botanically a berry12 – produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa.3 In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called "plantains", distinguishing them from dessert bananas. The fruit is variable in size, color, and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a rind, which may be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe. The fruits grow upward in clusters near the top of the plant. Almost all modern edible seedless (parthenocarp) bananas come from two wild species – Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. The scientific names of most cultivated bananas are Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana, and Musa × paradisiaca for the hybrid Musa acuminata × M. balbisiana, depending on their genomic constitution. The old scientific name for this hybrid, Musa sapientum, is no longer used.
Musa species are native to tropical Indomalaya and Australia, and are likely to have been first domesticated in New Guinea.45 They are grown in 135 countries,6 primarily for their fruit, and to a lesser extent to make fiber, banana wine, and banana beer, and are sometimes even grown as ornamental plants. The world's largest producers of bananas in 2017 were India and China, which together accounted for approximately 38% of total production.

Get the Boston cream piemug. Intimate act performed by two uncircumcised men of any sexuality (if you are wearing socks, it's not gay).
The first man pulls his foreskin back as far as possible, while the second pushes his as forward as possible, over the first guy's head and shaft of his penis (this process is very similar to docking). The two men then take any measure possible to mix their smegma together, and then - if desired - eat it.

Get the "lime" piemug. An alternative to Pioneer day on July 24th, which celebrates the Mormon settlers settling in Utah. "Pie and Beer" plays on the word "Pioneer" and serves as an excuse to eat pie and drink beer.
