[Well it's almost scientific]
We were walking to skool this very morning and Younger Daughter said hello to a young chap. The following conversation took place:
NV: Is he in your class?
YD: Yes, he's my reading partner [rolls eyes]
NV: Don't you like him?
YD: He's 'okay', but he's not very clever.
NV: Why do you say that?
YD: He likes Dr Who.
So, the jury is in. Dr Who fans are as thick as matron's custard. Further research will be made to find out if Dr Who is the cause of Mr Thicky Syndrome or just an observable effect.

First sorry for that and i am sure i am not the right person to say this, but you have a type error in one of the words.
Second you can question everything school teach the children and well everyone has his or hers tastes.
I like doughnuts with chocolate for example and OG likes them with some berry jam if i am not wrong
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Indeed: Strawberry (which isn't a berry) jam or raspberry (which also isn't a berry) jam. But not Banana (which is a berry).

So why isn't it called a bananaberry? 
And why can't you buy Bananaberry Jam?

For the same reason guacamole isn't made from Avocadoberry, and wine isn't made from Grapeberries.
But Dangleberries... let's not go there.

You can: Amazon sells it[^] - well, Banana Jam.

How would you get the last of it out of the banana-shaped jar? You have to think of these practicalities in the world of jam-making!

Can't get it out of the jar. You'd be in a jam!

No, sorry banana is a herb.
"The banana plant is called a 'banana tree' in popular use, but it's technically regarded as a herbaceous plant (or 'herb'), not a tree, because the stem does not contain true woody tissue."

The whole plant is a herb, but the "fruiting part" (i.e. the bit you eat) is a berry: "a fleshy fruit produced from a single ovary"[^]

Of course even if it wasn't deliberate you're still one up on him. I spotted two in his admonishment

It's not that they are thick - it's just that Dr Who is a childrens program, right Dave?

Torchwood? Some pretty-boy in a coat with pilot's wings he never earned?
I'll watch that when John Barrowman shows some nads and earns himself a PPL. It's not as if he doesn't have the money, or the time.
My stepdad - 73 missions over Germany in WW2, DFC, DSO, ran a Y-station in the Ardennes in '44-'45 - he couldn't stand to watch Barrowman, because of the wings.(It's not a gay thing, his own natural son is gay).

Until I read your last sentence I was going to say "Don't ask Barrowman to show us his nads - because he probably will..."
But then I did, so I won't.

Careful. This site is Canadian. They have laws against humour. When the Thought Police come for you they have to release you if you can crack them up. But if you fail after three jokes they're allowed to take out their truncheons. Three strikes and you're outed.
