A banana-based success story.

As you can see from the post preceding this one, early in the week I set out with the mission of ensuring that every banana was given the opportunity to fulfill its given purpose of providing nutrition. As I am sure you would all agree, there is nothing sadder than a banana without purpose. As soon as they realize that their existence was for naught, they quickly brown, whither and die.

Bloggers, radio personalities and the general public hunted for mysterious “Shark Attack” capsules, capsules that contained the artifacts of oceanic tragedies. Some from times past, some that hit closer to home than anyone could have imagined.
