The hits just keep on coming! Here's a gem from TMF again. The author doesnt come out and say exactly what's on his mind. Can you figure it out?? Do you think he might be referring to internut stocks? --snip-- The banana is believed to have originated in the Asian tropics, where many early legends mention it. Bananas are also mentioned in early Greek, Latin, and Arabic writings. The Portuguese discovered bananas on the Atlantic coast of Africa and brought them to the Canary Islands. From there Spanish missionaries carried the plants to tropical parts of the Americas. The first bananas to reach the United States came to New York City from Cuba in 1804. They were often sold one at a time in tinfoil wrappings and the cost of one banana in 1800's was estimated at today's cost of $350... It should be safe to assume that paying $350 for one banana, though wrapped in tinfoil, would now be considered "Insane"
