So the banana, a miracle of intelligent design, was useless to us until we used science to develop the yummy fruit we have today. Is that the lesson here? Science trumps intelligent design?
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I think the bigger issue is that bananas as we know them will not reproduce naturally.
As god intended. Can't have slutty bananas reproducing outside of marriage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, at least banana abortion is a non-starter.
Thank GOD.

Can “data” be a mass noun now? Please?
No! It's hard-wired into my brain as a plural now, and the world must accommodate me!
(It does seriously make me twitch when I hear NPR anchors use "data" as a singular. Well okay, when *anyone* does it.)

And yet, isn't "Thou shalt not bear false witness" one of the Big Ten?
That's one of those Old Testament strictures that modern Christians can feel free to ignore unless it mentions how icky God finds The Gays. Jesus didn't say it, after all.
Unlike, y'know, "Judge not, that ye be not judged." Or "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men."
Oh, wait...

"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men."
That's such a fun one to throw in people's faces.

I use "nauseated" correctly but never correct others, thanks to maternal conditioning. I use "hopefully" incorrectly but hear my mother chiding me in my head every. single. time.
My cat just (accidentally) scratched my throat when I moved her off the kitchen table. Owie.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aw, man, I'm so sad that these tights come in child sizes only.

I suspect I have been using "hopefully" incorrectly, because I have no idea what incorrectly is. ?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
And yet, isn't "Thou shalt not bear false witness" one of the Big Ten?
That's Notre Dame.
