I'm beginning to think YOU are a fruit

allow me to expand on strawberries:

"The strawberry is an accessory fruit; that is, the fleshy part is derived not from the ovaries (which are the "seeds", actually achenes) but from the peg at the bottom of the hypanthium that held the ovaries. So from a technical standpoint, the seeds are the actual fruits of the plant, and the flesh of the strawberry is a vegetable. It is greenish-white as it develops and in most species turns red when ripe."

Technicality's are everything. To me anyway. I mean technically there are 8 planets not 9. Technically Buffalo Bill didn't kill Buffalo's.

but still, bananas and strawberries can be considered fruit

did you even look at those links?

there is no question. they are fruit.

Wiki:

"A banana plant is a herb in the genus, Musa, which because of its size and structure, is often mistaken for a tree. It is cultivated for its fruit , which also bears the same name."

Yeah I looked at the links. Still doesn't change the fact that a fruit is defined as having seeds on the inside though. which strawberrys and bananas don't have.

RHUBARB OWNS!

obviosuly you are ignorant to the ways of the fruit

There are three basic types of fruits:

Simple fruit
Aggregate fruit
Multiple fruit

Simple fruits can be either dry or fleshy and result from the ripening of a simple or compound ovary with only one pistil. Dry fruits may be either dehiscent (opening to discharge seeds), or indehiscent (not opening to discharge seeds). Types of dry, simple fruits (with examples) are:

achene - (buttercup)
capsule - (Brazil nut)
caryopsis - (wheat)
fibrous drupe - (coconut, walnut)
follicle - (milkweed)
legume - (pea, bean, peanut)
loment
nut - (hazelnut, beech, oak acorn)
samara - (elm, ash, maple key)
schizocarp - (carrot)
silique - (radish)
utricle

Fruits in which part or all of the pericarp (fruit wall) is fleshy at maturity are simple fleshy fruits. Types of fleshy, simple fruits (with examples) are:

berry - (tomato, avocado)
Stone fruit drupe (plum, cherry, peach, olive)
false berry - accessory fruits (banana, cranberry)
pome - accessory fruits (apple, pear, rosehip)

An aggregate fruit, or etaerio, develops from a flower with numerous simple pistils. An example is the raspberry, whose simple fruits are termed drupelets because each is like a small drupe attached to the receptacle. In some bramble fruits (such as blackberry) the receptacle is elongate and part of the ripe fruit, making the blackberry an aggregate-accessory fruit. The strawberry is also an aggregate-accessory fruit, only one in which the seeds are contained in achenes. In all these examples, the fruit develops from a single flower with numerous pistils.

A multiple fruit is one formed from a cluster of flowers (called an inflorescence). Each flower produces a fruit, but these mature into a single mass. Examples are the pineapple, edible fig, mulberry, osage-orange, and breadfruit.

You can post as much stuff from wikipedia as you want technically they still are not fruits.
