    Referring to the banana question, did I hear recently that scientists think within the next ten years or so, the banana might become extinct?

    Question #28900. Asked by King Kong.

    Jeeves

    The theory is that bananas are seedless and have been propogated by cuttings for thousands of years. Because of this they have not developed immunity to more recent infections. There is a current fungus disease that cannot be eradicated by chemical means and this could kill off the banana. See http://www.thenewspaper.org.uk/worldnews/worldnews_01_03/bannana.php3

    3 Apple, Orange, Banana, Bandana?
    I'll give you three things that belong to a group. You find another thing that fits in that group. Example: Apples, oranges, and bananas are fruits, so strawberries would fit in that group, but bandanas, cookies, and crayons wouldn't fit.
