Subject: Report: Subcommittee On Banana Coloration
In reply to: Barry Toodleberry 's message, "Public Discussion Period for X459A34.5 has begun" on 18/07/06 2:45am

Barry,

Here is the report from the subcommittee on banana coloration.

The subcommittee has drafted the following guidelines using the standard PANTONE color charts.

A- Body color between PANTONE S2-1 & PANTONE S5-6 over 96% of the fruit, and having less than 2% PANTONE S8-1 evenly distributed and less than 1% PANTONE S318-4 except on the stem.

B- PANTONE S270-2 is allowed for export only.

Depending on the final maximum and minimum radii along the longitudinal axis of bananas, we may need to adjust these for refractive index of the skin and diffraction of the laser due to the naturally occurring irregularities of the banana. We will of course still need at least 7 million to develop a pocket sized device the banana inspectors could carry out inspections with. The current instrument requires at least to vehicles to carry the generator and instruments.

At least one of the subcommittee members has also raised the question of mean diameter on measurements in the visible spectrum as balanced with infrared readings.

The subcommittee final report is scheduled for July 15, 2023, in the interim hard bound copies of the report will be available monthly, each containing an updated report and the full text of all previous reports.

The subcommittee also came up with some amazing findings regarding the "boomarang-ablity" of E

Syliphant,

I thought you had been thrown off the subcomittee for banana fragrance for passing gas during the initial stages of testing, you bugger you! How did you land a spot on the aerodynamics subcommittee? Helps to have a dad in high places!

Reginald,

I thought the aerodynamics subcommittee had been disbanded.

If thats not the case, I'll have to get over and tell the boys working on the successor to the concorde, "Concorde, The Next One". Their original idea was to measure the aerodynamic efficiency of a banana at supersonic speeds, but they gave that up and went with an animal shape (octopus I think), when they thought the aerodynamics subcomittee had been disbanded.

BTW, we are talking banana aerodynamics, right?

Haba,

Glad to hear of your work on Concorde, the boys at the aerodynamics subcommittee could really use your help. Seems they are flinging bananna all over like boomerangs and making quite a mess of things. I was hoping you might lend them use of your wind tunnel or at least a small desk fan, some bits of paper, a stop watch and some sticky tape.

This would at least distract them for a while.

Reginald,

They have my desk fan. It doesn't quite get to mach 2, but it does make it to 23km/h especially on a new set of batteries, and they said they can extrapolate from there.

I also sent them a shipping container of confetti, which was a bit of mistake. I went to visit them the other day, and the confetti is everywhere, all over their desks and the floor. They said its hard to keep it out of places once you let it go. I should have bought a vacuum cleaner for them as well.

Haba,

You should have given them a case of sticky tape as I suggested, they would hav wrapped themselves in it as usual and kept all the confetti from getting everyhere. I do hope you did not include any white glue or glitter as last time they got it all over the computer and printer.
