Open a Banana like a Monkey – most human primates do it wrong!

To go with open banana here is open banana data:
- The USDA Nutrient Database will help you find the nutritional value of a banana (online search | infochimps entry)
- Per Capita Consumption of Major Food Commodities: 1980 to 2005
- Fresh Fruits and Vegetables–Supply and Use: 2000 to 2006
Actually, that’s not at all the right way to open a banana. The _proper_ way is to use two hands, grab it from both ends, and just pull till it cleaves cleanly in the middle.
You wind up with two perfect half-bananas that look like they were split apart with a fine-edged machete.
You can eat one and save the other for later, or a friend, or flinging. Whatever.
