BANZAIIIIII!!

Richard Manns | says:
 Is it just a coincidence that the word "panda" has the same number of syllables as "BANZAI!"? Well, IS IT?
Bailey says:
 nah
 little-known fact, the word BANZAI first came into use as a war cry back when the Japanese and Chinese were fighting with panda-catapults.
Richard Manns | says:
 BAN is from the sound the rubber bands make as they release their pent-up force, and ZAAAAIiiiiiiii... is the last known sound that the panda makes before black-and-white oblivion is handed out like big slices of whoop-ass cake.
Bailey says:
 Ah, and here I thought BANZAI meant "release the panda!" in one language, and "shit, incoming pandas!" in another...
Richard Manns | says:
 Or "incoming panda shit!". Those pandas can get mighty nervous in transit.
Bailey says:
 "eats, shoots and leaves", indeed.
