Not to sound like a total Uber Newbie, but what do you all mean by banana?

BANANA IS GOD! BURN THE HERETIC!

No, really, the banana is just a random word that we use.

bananna is just a poll option that people use for an "abstain" type value. it's like thde "Cowboyneal" options at slashdot... if you go there at all...

it was just a joke that is so overplayer it's not a diety.

Poor you... Why do you want the thread to die? Just let them talk about this banana thing, and enjoy!

Forgive you? Of course.

AFAIK, the "banana" thing was started on the Lord of the Rings forums JohnT frequented. JohnT brought the idea here, and it caught fire. In time, it spread to the on-topic forums.

(There's also a Banana Party in the OTF. If there's no banana option in a poll, they vote en-masse for one of the other options. This is all just rumor, though.)
