Were any bees harmed in the making of The Other Me?

The center of the fruit contains five carpels arranged in a five-point star, each carpel containing one to three seeds.

Five point star? Apples contain Frost*erisks?!  :shock:

I wouldn't either, although Ikea seem to use it as standard.

I thought they were mainly purveyors of birch?

I was actually referring to their employees...  

(Good God, if anyone here is an employee of Ikea or is a friend of someone who is an employee of Ikea, then I whole-heartedly and sincerely apologise for my above comment and apologise once more. A luxury biscuit tin will be dispatched to your location immediately.)

Enough of that, did you know that the banana fruit grows in hanging clusters, with up to 20 fruit to a tier (called a hand), and 3-20 tiers to a bunch? The total of the hanging clusters is known as a bunch, or commercially as a "banana stem", and can weigh from 30–50 kg. The fruit averages 125 g, of which approximately 75% is water and 25% dry matter content. Each individual fruit (known as a banana or 'finger') has a protective outer layer (a peel or skin) with a fleshy edible inner portion. Both skin and inner part can be eaten raw or cooked. Western cultures generally eat the inside raw and throw away the skin while some Asian cultures generally eat both the skin and inside cooked. Typically, the fruit has numerous strings (called 'phloem bundles') which run between the skin and inner part. Bananas are a valuable source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium.

Bananas are grown in at least 107 countries. In popular culture and commerce, "banana" usually refers to soft, sweet "dessert" bananas. The bananas from a group of cultivars with firmer, starchier fruit are called plantains. Bananas may also be cut and dried and eaten as a type of chip. Dried bananas are also ground into banana flour.

Although the wild species have fruits with numerous large, hard seeds, virtually all culinary bananas have seedless fruits. Bananas are classified either as dessert bananas (meaning they are yellow and fully ripe when eaten) or as green cooking bananas. Almost all export bananas are of the dessert types; however, only about 10-15% of all production is for export, with the United States and European Union being the dominant buyers.

Cool. So is that epic Tinyfish track actually all about a time when your crop failed? (Banana crop, not the riding variety....or the hardressing variety....)
