The old joke of slipping on a banana peel has a hidden meaning! Know what it is?

The old joke of slipping on a banana peel has a hidden meaning! Know what it is?

We all know the joke. An unsuspecting victim is walking along, minding their own business, when all of a sudden they step on a banana peel that they don't see. That person then stumbles and falls to the ground in a typical slapstick manner. Hilarious, right? But what if we told you that the joke is symbolic of something else?




That's right—the banana peel slip joke has a hidden meaning. Are you ready for it? The joke isn't about slipping on a banana peel, it's a reference to slipping in horse manure and falling face first down into poop!




Back in the early days of cinema, comedy was considered an art form, and they thought that if they showed actual manure on stage it would ruin the art form. So, instead of shovelling manure onto a stage and ruining art, they used a banana peal to get the effect!

Hermit crabs form gangs and steal from other crabs!

Hermit crabs form gangs and steal from other crabs!

One of the most interesting things about hermit crabs is that they have to keep seeking new homes as they get larger. They have long, spiral-shaped abdomens which are incredibly soft, and as a result they need to use shells as a protection from predators. When one crab moves into a bigger shell, the other crabs often form a line from biggest to smallest, so that everyone gets to upgrade to a bigger shell!




If you think that act of survival is impressive and charitable, just wait until you read what crabs do to each other if they become jealous! Hermit crabs are known to gang up on another hermit crab if they perceive that crab to have a better shell. Hermit crabs will physically pry another hermit crabs home away from it, and then they will compete for that shell!




It ain't easy bein' a crab.

Pythagoras (from the theorem) created his own cult with crazy severe dietary restrictions.

Pythagoras (from the theorem) created his own cult with crazy severe dietary restrictions.

Pythagoreanism was the system of esoteric and metaphysical beliefs held by Pythagoras and his followers, the Pythagorean cult. Pythagoreanism originated in the 5th century BC and greatly influenced later philosopers, such as Plato.




The Pythagorean code heavily restricted the diet of it's followers, prohibiting the consumption or even touching of any sort of bean. Some believed that this was due to their belief in the soul, and the fact that beans have the ability to create life.




Others belive that beans were forbidden because they resemble the kidneys and genitalia. But the most likely reason for the rule is some magico-religious explanation, such as the belief that beans and human beings were created from the same material.
