Germans Still Obsessed With Racial Eugenics

Berlin Man Wants to Make Bananas of Pure Aryan Blood, or At Least Straighten Them Up

What the hell is with the fucking Germans?

Fed up with the inconvenient curved shape of bananas, a Berlin resident has dreamt up a way to straighten this staple of the fruit bowl, even applying to have his banana-straightening method patented.

Karl-Friedrich Lentze thinks he's on to the biggest thing since sliced bread -- the straight banana. Or as he prefers to call it, the "cigar-banana."

The 56-year old social welfare recipient has developed a method to take away the yellow-skinned fruit's distinctive curve.

"Depending on the degree of the curve, chunks will be cut out of the banana, which will then be bound back together using biologically safe bandages," Lentze explained to the German tabloid Bild.

The curvy chunks won't go to waste. Lentze's plan involves either drying them or using them in fruit salad.

"After a certain introduction time, the straight cigar-banana will drive the curved banana from the market," Lentze said. "It's easier to eat, and easier to store."

"The 56-year old social welfare recipient..."

Heh.

Yeah, and weren't the Japanese working on some square watermelon that was going to "drive the [regular watermelon] from the market"?

These folks will never learn; we like our bananas to be curved, our watermelons to be round and our victories over authoritarian regimes to be total.

I guess it is a matter of time till we see the posters detailing the 'correct' and 'incorrect' angles and dimensions of fruit and vegetables in the produce aisles.

Ever pulled the 'pre-sliced banana' trick on a naive dupe? You tell them of a new breed of the fruit that comes already sliced when you peel it, ready for use in salads or over your breakfast cereal.

Then you show them one. He peels it, and sure enough, the slices fall out in half-inch segments.

Supposedly he freaks out and offers you lots of money. But the only time I tried it, on my mother-in-law, she just shrugged her shoulders and told me it probably would be too expensive and she didn't like new-fangled foods anyway.

The trick is to use a sewing needle and about a foot of thread. You insert the needle at the banana ridge, push it through to the next ridge and pull it out, then re-insert through that hole leading to the NEXT ridge, until you have totally circumnavigated the banana -- then pull the thread out, slicing the inside fruit. Do this multiple times for multiple slices. The holes in the ridges are invisible.

It takes about ten minutes per banana. After my first ho-hum victim reaction, I gave it up as a waste of time.

Maybe we could mail some to the German, and demand a million bucks for the genetic blueprint?

No, no! I've got it! Bananazis!

Posted by: zetetic` on October 18, 2004 07:48 PM

I don't if it's a waste of time to sew bananas for 10 minutes to play banana jokes on people. But it was definitely a waste of time reading about it.

In fact, responding to it has caused me to become less intelligent. I'm actually dumber for having written this.

Now I need a Brit to tell me how to vote. You bastard.

With a humdinger of an idea like that, I can't believe he's still on welfare.

Posted by: jmflynny on October 18, 2004 08:39 PM

Sounds like the Lorena Bobbit method of banana curvature correction.

Posted by: D Carter on October 18, 2004 09:50 PM

The Germans are embarking on a path fruit domination and the world just sits silent and watches. HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING FROM HISTORY!

First they come for the bananas, then they come for the apples and THEN they come for the oranges.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.)
Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right.
As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:
Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!
Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.
