Did you know this about yourself?

 

Humans share over 50% of their DNA with bananas. Yes, we're all mostly bananas. Which explains why so many people are bent, and some are green and slippery.

Did you also know that when you leave your hair behind when it's been cut you are leaving a lot of DNA at the hairdressers? I always ask the hairdresser for my hair back.

DNA is what makes us all unique. No two people in the world are the same. Even so-called identical twins. There is no such thing as identical. I knew "identical" twins once. They looked the same but you could not tell who was male or female. I found out when I took one of them on a date.

The word "identical" means exactly the same. I learnt that when once my secretary came to work crying because her Chihuahua dog had died. I went to the pet shop and bought her an identical one. She cried more at having two dead dogs.

Despite sharing our DNA with bananas and some animals, humans are the only creatures who wear clothes. No other creature, animal, bird or fish, wears clothes.

I wonder, how did Adam and Eve know which bits to cover when they sinned? Why not cover their knees, or elbows? How did they make the leaves stick in appropriate places? Velcro had not been invented then.

I have my doubts about that story. I don't know about you; but if I was naked in the garden and met a talking snake, I'd be scared he might bite my bits, not engage in conversation with him.  

Yet these days people don't seem to care about nudity. They go to nudist camps to air their differences and don't bat an eyelid about it. Would you do that?

And there's nudity everywhere on TV. What's the world coming to?

We're all bananas I think.

  1. We also share human DNA with mushrooms/fungi, which kinda grossed me out when I first learned that.
    You make some good points about Adam and Eve - if they had covered their knees, then the other parts wouldn't be covered which would look rather odd. Yeah, and no velcro, too. What's up with that? These are the things that could keep me up at night!😫
    Enjoyable post, Victor.

    1. I often stay up all night thinking these things through. Like, were there any mosquitoes when Adam and Eve were naked in Paradise? Hey ... that's a great title for a movie: Naked in Paradise.

      God bless, Debbie.

  2. Yes, Victor, when I hear the daily news, it certainly does seem like the world has gone bananas, and not in a good way. I like your humorous take on going bananas a lot better! Blessings!

    1. It seems sad that the world as we knew it some 10 or 20 years ago is now no longer so.

      God bless you, Martha.

    1. It's the same on our TV too, Catherine. Sometimes, the only one with clothes on is me.

      God bless.

  5. I would think that Adam and Eve covered the parts of their bodies that were different from each other. They both had knees. :)
    Yes the world has gone bananas!!
