How to make a banana penguin
- Obtain a banana, preferably of at least medium size.
- Take the banana by the stem and peel straight backward about halfway down the banana.
- Split the rest of the peel in half, so there are two pieces of peel, one on each side; peel these about halfway down the banana.
- Take a small bite from the top of the banana.
- Flip the piece with the stem back over the top.
- Make penguin noises.
- Name your penguin (optional).

Did I teach you this in undergrad during Philosphy of Religion? It's a very philosophical thing to do: does the penguin have feelings; is it wrong to make a banana into an animal; and then eat it; does that make you a carnivore at that moment?

Arbusto: I learned this from a co-worker. You did not teach me. It does seem a bit philosophical, though.

So then you teach me back in undergrad? I remember playing around with this penguin in that class.

I totally remember doing that in the caf. Ah, the caf. You know there's a facebook group dedicated to that scary man behind the dessert counter.

Dan: Yes, probably.
Genevieve: No, it wasn't Loyal Rue. I actually forgot the guy's name. Kent something?

Next time in the caf, I am SO doing this. If I get weird looks, I'll just blame you, but if I get laughs, I'm taking all the credit ;o) (JK!)
