Is that super duper enough?
I was thinking more along the lines of Deep Thought.

An answer to what is probably best left to a further set of experiments. I have no idea what they should be and what products should be used, but I feel confident that you may save the world from...something.
What about, say, a grape? Just a standard green grape. Could such a grape be made to fit through a slice of bread in the same fashion as the banana and the apple? And if so, could other varieties of grapes be made to fit through a slice of bread.

The banana still has it's peel, so wear protection or get a possible yeast infection...

That makes for a good time.

Rather than use one supercomputer to examine the answer to Skrelp (a native of the Kalos region) I recommend that we use sixteen thousand people to control one character in a simulation of Pokémon:

As a former Pokemon addict and fanboy...I can honestly say this is not helping.

As an innocent bystander in all this (alongside the kelp and whippets), I think the real answer lies in carrying out the original experiment, but substituting a pokemon for the banana and a 16oz rib eye for the bread. Only then will the potato people of Kralskuppengruuper have their long fought for freedomz.

Also, has someone been dropping LSD in the Subsim water cooler again?

If it's good enough for Dr. Walter Bishop it's good enough for me.

I see a Unicorn piercing a loaf of bread and it's not using tools.

OBVIOUSLY! The banana of happiness interjects with the isosceles cleft of the slice of life(one's daily bread) with cutting edge humor and a square deal. ie; the sneaky siren-like alluring skrelp meets the equally alluring Mae West of the immortal query: "R U Glad to see me..." it's a pokemon thing! This all occurred to me whilst wearing MY favorite life preserver...still called 'mae west' to us old salts!
