	newbie questions Tired of ads?

Ok I better get these questions cleared before I become a king.
1. What is a banana? (Aside from it's normal meaning of being a kind of fruit)
2. What is a DL? (I bet it's not double life)

I've tried to find out about the banana before and my threads are closed by Ming as potential spam fests. I haven't tried OT yet though. Maybe I'll try there...

We have had several threads about the mighty Banana. Just do a simple search!

As for DL...

The DL dance!

A DL is something not appreciated here at Poly, namely an extra login. It is only legal to have one login here.

I've tried to search for it but couldn't find anything relevant; only some mentions in Civ threads. Maybe my inability to search correctly is why I will never know the true meaning. If you're willing to share with a slobbering idiot that can't seem to get hooked on phonics, can you enlighten at:

Silly option given in polls, meant as a sign of not caring about said poll.
Originator of this is disputed.

Double Logon, having two or more accounts.

Weird... I do remember a pretty good thread that was not too long ago, but I can't find it neither here or in the archive... Guess it disappeared after the Settler II came into the scene... But just so you know it, I'm not the best man to ask about the Great Banana. It's a complex story, and I'm afraid I'd forget important details!

I looked for it too, and I've seen it before on Settler 2. It must be one of Ming's missing threads (tm)

Are there any more of such Ming's missing threads that holds such mysterious and important information?

You should ask the mods to release the "Who's the Real Ming?" thread.

I don't think anyone has mentioned that banana is normally used as a poll option, nor what it stands for in those polls. But then, I didn't follow the link above.

Maybe this helps.....I had to go all the way back 1 page to find it.

The banana was obviously put in a long time ago by someone with enough foresight to see it would generate threads by newbies and lots of +1 opportunities.

The baby looks kind of Chinese, and therefore must be a Communist. Communism is indirectly responsible for the death of millions of people I neither knew nor cared about, but I take exception to it anyway. The avatar is deeply offensive and I demand it be removed to save my poor little feelings from being marginally hurt every time I can be bothered to look at it.

(by the way ... I'm joking)

Looks like these couple days I've given many people ample +1 opportunities. But the intent is genuine, Ming.
