"I noticed this banana peel laying in my driveway [here in Tennessee] around the first of October 2006. I didn't pick it up because it wasn't in the way of being run over or stepped on. During my years of backpacking I had heard not to discard a banana peel in the wild because it took a long time to decay, and so I thought I would see how long it may actually take by leaving it alone.
I would glance at it occasionally as I walked by it with the trash or to check my mail. It never seemed to change much until just before Christmas, when I considered tossing it in the trash before family began to gather for the Holidays. It had began to look a little scaly weeks earlier, but when I picked it up I noticed what appeared to be toes and claws on two of the strips. I brought it in for a closer look and discovered that three of the peel strips had toes and claws. The more I looked at it the more amazed I became, it was as if the banana peel had a desire to become an animal or reptile, otherwise it would just decay or desolve into nothing rather than changing into something else. Is this evidence of evolution?"
