After receiving an unsolicited PM by a member whose identity I won't disclose, let's call him/her Person X, it has transpired that this user has a PhD in a very respected field of knowledge.
From what I could get from his/her interventions in this forum I didn't think that his/her claim was true (in the very unlikely event that it was true it had to be a Bogdanoff affair kind of PhD, or maybe his/her advisor was from Social Text) so I put him/her up to a test.
Needless to say that Person X failed miserably.
You now have the chance to measure up against Person X, and remember that he/she has a PhD in very well thought field, and see if you can give the correct answer to the question.
I'll change the question a little bit, but the spirit of it will stay the same, so not to give away the identity of Person X.
Without further ado:
Remember that you have to say what is the truth value of this proposition and justify why this is so.
Ps: After a few more PMs it has transpired that even though Person X has started his studies in the well thought and highly intellectual field he/she hasn't finished it, but (and bear with me here) he/she still has the skills.
Of course I won't quote and repeat directly what Person X has told me but do believe that this is a 100% accurate paraphrase of what Person X has said.

What is the truth value of the following proposition:
All three legged, red eyed, two headed Japanese eat red bananas.
