Considering, in 2012, December 1st is on Saturday, that is impossible.... Look at a 2012 calendar! ;)

Edit:

Looking further, 5 Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in December occurred in 2006 and will reoccur in 2017....

For the 'nanners, I think we've bred wild strains to get the current commercial champ. And its more susceptible to disease as time goes by; that and other reasons that escape me have led to attempts to breed another banana because the viability of the current one isnt expected to hold up much longer. I might have to Google that.

Farm turkeys and some other animals have been so overbred by us that they can't reproduce on their own.
 
This makes no sense at all, how did they reproduce before men existed?
The "tangelo" was created by man.. I know the Banana we eat was cultivated meaning it was a cross species that's been around along time..but I think it reproduces on its own

Too funny! Perhaps a team of botanical engineers are busy trying to create a female companion called the Inana. Until then, banana reproduction will continue to br done the old-fashioned way, by hand, and by professional banana whackers pulling long shifts.
