> Bananas - proprietary trial ware, suffers from rapid bit-rot, > operate your stomach in chroot jail mode before consumption =)))))) Chrooted bananas, often refered to as _hybrid_ bananas, are by far not the norm. While I don't fundamentally oppose the idea the quick banana bitrot process could be lengthened and improved by chrooting the build process, say, in an Apple environment, it is still out of reach for most of its regular users. Also, as a regular banana user (I use them on a daily basis), I must correct your assertions: Bananas never enter the stomach before consumption (unless, of course, by "consumption" you mean only the final stages of it - but formally, banana consumption is accepted to happen at the precise moment a Banana enters your system through Mouth.iostream) -- Gunnar Wolf • gwolf <at> gwolf.org • (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-curiosa-REQUEST <at> lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Buff... Around 2.5 years ago, I spent a vacation in Playa Azúl, Michoacán (South-Western Pacific coast of Mexico). The people I stayed with gave me a bunch of bananas ripened on the plant. Each was the size to 2-3 regular bananas, and realllllly delicious! Uncomparable to any bananas I have ever found in the city. -- Gunnar Wolf • gwolf <at> gwolf.org • (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-curiosa-REQUEST <at> lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
