You can learn a lot from cartoons.
Never get in a footrace with a road runner. Always take that left turn at Albuquerque. And importantly, banana peels are slippery. Apparently that last lesson has been lost on a bunch of teens, who are creating a new meme - the #BananaPeelChallenge - to see if walking on a banana skin can make you trip up. It all started this weekend with Jason Oakes' investigative video. https://twitter.com/jaasonoakes/status/714238940732108800 From that, great pratfalls were had and the #BananaPeelChallenge was borne.Ouch.@jaasonoakes pic.twitter.com/GtRDa2OghX

What a life. Remember kids: stay safe out there. Banana skins are slippery. It doesn't really matter if its duck or rabbit season.So @KATVChris tried the #bananapeelchallenge - Kids don't do it! pic.twitter.com/7e5LWa5Tiw
