Just look at it.

fruit - Matt James Stone (Thanks, Marie!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Looks like a ginger root. Banananger.

    I have looked at the banana. It is good. It is a good banana.

    That’s uglier than a stomped on possum.

    That’s a bunch of transporter accident victims right there.

      ZOMG, still laughing.

  • Roose_Bolton

    That’s bananas.

    We all live in a banana sculpture, a banana sculpture, a banana sculpture. 

    • ImmutableMichael

      As Boing Boing readers, shouldn’t that be “banana subculture”?

    Looks like the result of a Miro/Calder/Picasso menage-a-trois during a meth bender.

      Looks like Frida Kahlo to me.

    Banana!  You’ve been drinking and fighting again, haven’t you?!?

  • LogrusZed

    Sure, but which end goes in my butt?

  • saint_al

    Compost? Fruit fly bait? Puzzlement here, and I’ve studied art.
    /don’t get it

    • Antinous / Moderator

      You don’t need to get it.  You just need to look at it.

      • timquinn

        That sums up what I learned in art school. 

  • brucearthurs

    Banana orgy!

  • Felton / Moderator

    It’s the thing from The Thing trying to imitate a banana.  Kill it with fire!

  • Finnagain

    I’m sorry I just looked at it.

    Thanks a lot. Now I can’t unsee it. Maybe it will just rot before doing much more harm.

    Its very good.  I only saw one mistake.

  • Dewgeist

    Is musaphobia a thing?  I think I have it now…

  • JoshP

    It’d be a cool 3d print.

  • Tim Drage

    Can’t think of Chris Foss banana pun I’m afraid.

    • Matt Pitt

      Neither can I! But that is EXACTLY what it looks like. Maybe bananas will soon be replacing Lego as the sci-fi sculpture medium de jour?

    • Dave X

       I was also thinking of that same spaceship! Awesome that someone else saw it too.

    That’s bananawang!

  • sam1148

    I doubt cory will be looking these comments.

    But why hasn’t the most awesome BANANA place on the planet in Austriala been posted? (or has it?)….

    The BIG BANANA…
    http://www.bigbanana.com/

    Rides and atrractions and a Mutimedia attraction about the “WORLD OF BANANAS”. Automatic doors leads you into the space of the worlds of the Bananas…it’s PURE MAGIC.

    http://www.bigbanana.com/worldofbananas.html

    JUST LOOK AT IT…Disney like “Holograms” Theater for the world of Bananas…game rooms. Rides and banana themed zip lines..playgrounds etc. Amazing. You may have to drill deep into the site to get the full Banana goodness. They seemed to make it not just a road side attraction..but a Banana themed family fun place.
