July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |

~Minja](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/general-Celebration.gif)  Since this is suppose to be Fun Fact Friday: I found some fun facts about Bananas. Two references: https://www.thefactsite.com/top-100-random-funny-facts/ www.Wikipedia.com One of my relatives were warned not to eat bananas at one point in time so I decided to find out what I could. 1. a wart can be removed in about two weeks by running the inside of a banana peel onto it once a day. 2. The banana is an herb and a berry. 3. Bananas have a level of potassium which can lower your risk of stroke or heart attach. (according to a U.S. A. study) 4. Bananas have the K-40 isotope of potassium, which emits a naturally occurring small dose of radiation. You would have to eat about 400 a day in order to notice any damage. Other vegtables that do the same thing are Brazil nuts, potatoes, carrots, beer and some others. It's, a technicality since all foods and humans contain some isotopes with radiation as part of the makeup. 5. There are several biological classifications for bananas. One of them, Musa sapientune = is Latin for Muse of the wise. 6. Green bananas have a lot of starch which turns to sugar as the banana ripens. 7. The banana was first domesticated by farmers in southeast Asia and Papua New Guinea. 8. Bananas came to the Americas with Portuguese sailors. 9. Fiber from the plant is used to make paper and textiles. 10. Banana can be dried into chips, frozen to eat later, made into flour, and made into jelly. Happy Birthday Suma1  |
