This is pretty great. Endorsed. You know, if only you owned or could get the licenses to all the BPotW. I could see them making a great coffee table book, right up there with a coffee table book about coffee tables.

All I know is me, RDS and Victor were having a touching love song aimed at the girl in the dorm room next to me and it was ruined...

I don't understand why it has to be a barbershop
quartet. I thought we harmonized fine as a trio, though I'll admit rds was a little pitchy...

Agreed.
I was pressed for time on choosing the
BPotW. I have a better one lined up for next week.

Notice how her thighs are three times as large as her stomach. And that her eyes are as big as her hands.
A girl with her proportions can only be cute in animation lol.

BREAKING NEWSSource:
Scientific American---------------------------------------
Scientists are developing a way to extend the life of bananas with a spray-on coating made from chitosan—a substance found in crab and shrimp shells. The new gel can be sprayed on bananas to slow the ripening process by up to 12 days.
Like other fruit, bananas remain alive after being picked and they actually continue to respire. This means they take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The more the banana breathes the faster it ripens and then rots. Bananas ripen more quickly than most fruit because they don’t naturally slow the respiration after being picked, in fact it speeds up, giving bananas their notoriously short shelf life.
Chitosan not only kills the bacteria on banana’s skin that then leads to rot, it also significantly slows down the respiration in the first place. ---------------------------------------

Is that for, like, Dole and Chiquita to spray on their bananas, or is that supposed to be for consumers?

S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A. Some people, especially baritones, should quit singing alltogether.

She would be classified as several levels way beyond anexoric. It's almost "wasp" like.
So no one noticed she's topless?

This is on the side of the 20 Mule Team Borax box.
Sounds like a dare to me.

This seems backwards. I would have thought they would take in CO2 and exhale O like the plant.

They're taking in oxygen to help them convert sugars into energy, and releasing carbon dioxide.
"The quicker a fruit or vegetable respires, the quicker it ripens. For most fruits, the respiration rate slows down after the initial growth stage and the fruit ripens slowly. The growth and ripening process of bananas, however, is different. Although at first the banana’s respiration slows down too, when it’s ready to ripen, the banana’s pulp releases a chemical that increases respiration. This converts the starches in the banana to sugars and gives it its fabulous taste.
With all this respiration, the banana eventually processes all the starches available. And that’s when it begins to die. Those brown spots are rot and decay."Science!
