Bananas are the most radioactive fruit, due to their amount of Potassium. Still, you need 0,5 million of them to even reach the radiation worker one-year dose limit, which is not lethal. One banana gives off about 0,1 microSievert. LD50/30 (lethal dose in 50% of the cases, within 30 days) is about 5 Sievert. So, you would need 50 million bananas to kill someone with the radiation.

It references (and takes massive libterties with) a short term standing order for the militias of York (and York only) during the days of William Wallace. The order was to shoot any Scotsman seen outside the city. Militias at the time were not armed with bows, but crossbows.

Since then pseudo historians and idiots alike (especially the 'Freemen of the City of York' - a Masonic organisation) have perpetuated the myth - and the bitogted attitude that goes with it.
