So why isn't it called a bananaberry? :doh: And why can't you buy Bananaberry Jam? :doh:

I'd just like a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

For the same reason guacamole isn't made from Avocadoberry, and wine isn't made from Grapeberries. But Dangleberries... let's not go there.

You can: Amazon sells it[^] - well, Banana Jam.

Made by the DRAMA department, not the Children's Department.

Yep. For the budget.

How would you get the last of it out of the banana-shaped jar? You have to think of these practicalities in the world of jam-making!

[Well it's almost scientific] We were walking to skool this very morning and Younger Daughter said hello to a young chap. The following conversation took place: NV: Is he in your class? YD: Yes, he's my reading partner [rolls eyes] NV: Don't you like him? YD: He's 'okay', but he's not very clever. NV: Why do you say that? YD: He likes Dr Who. So, the jury is in. Dr Who fans are as thick as matron's custard. Further research will be made to find out if Dr Who is the cause of Mr Thicky Syndrome or just an observable effect.
:laugh: Has she ever met DD?, if so what's her take on him?

Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

Torchwood? Some pretty-boy in a coat with pilot's wings he never earned? I'll watch that when John Barrowman shows some nads and earns himself a PPL. It's not as if he doesn't have the money, or the time. My stepdad - 73 missions over Germany in WW2, DFC, DSO, ran a Y-station in the Ardennes in '44-'45 - he couldn't stand to watch Barrowman, because of the wings.(It's not a gay thing, his own natural son is gay). :wtf:

Or send them to a tough boarding school?

Until I read your last sentence I was going to say "Don't ask Barrowman to show us his nads - because he probably will..." But then I did, so I won't.

Careful. This site is Canadian. They have laws against humour. When the Thought Police come for you they have to release you if you can crack them up. But if you fail after three jokes they're allowed to take out their truncheons. Three strikes and you're outed.

Indeed: Strawberry (which isn't a berry) jam or raspberry (which also isn't a berry) jam. But not Banana (which is a berry).

No, sorry banana is a herb. "The banana plant is called a 'banana tree' in popular use, but it's technically regarded as a herbaceous plant (or 'herb'), not a tree, because the stem does not contain true woody tissue."
The whole plant is a herb, but the "fruiting part" (i.e. the bit you eat) is a berry: "a fleshy fruit produced from a single ovary"[^]

YD: He likes Dr Who.Yeah, sure, she may think Dr. Who fans are as thick as U238, but the important point is that she knows about Dr. Who, and is smart and confident enough to have her own opinion. Kudos.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.
