Problem with my needles, I usually find them with bare feet....
Something tells me you are not using your feet to find yours....

I think a few of us finally decided we are going to go to the boat show tomorrow. I doubt there is anything there I need or want to see, but it is something to do....It's not an optical illusion.

Dom, I started spreadsheeting the monkey rope banana thing... Maybe I was over-thinking it, but when I ended up with a negative number, I realized something I was doing was wrong....It's not an optical illusion.

well here is a hint.Originally posted by philwsailz View Post
start with the bottom paragraph, and draw a line, put whole numbers on top and fractions on bottom and start cancelling out.
then just make variables and solve.
or google it

5.75 inches?
That is not the length of a banana......It's not an optical illusion.

Okay, how big around is it?
diameter or circumfrence, either, I don't care which value you return...
Funny, as I type this, I think it would be possible to come up with a number... All we need to know is a banana's average density...
So, the next blonde you see, ask her what the average density of a banana is...
If you get slapped, you get 10 points extra....
My vote is that we would all get 10 points, and possibly a lawsuit... If we asked the question at work...It's not an optical illusion.

Abstract
This article presents results on the variation in density and shrinkage of banana during its drying. Volume and density measurements were carried out on three series of samples with average initial moisture contents of 506, 450 and 393 % kg (kg db)−1 and dried at 40, 50 and 60 °C respectively. Each series contained 16 samples and drying was interrupted at different moments to obtain various moisture contents. By considering that the variation in the product volume was equal to the volume of the evaporated water, mathematical models were proposed. Calculated and experimental values were in good agreement, with a maximum standard error (at 40 °C) of 19 kg m−3 for density and of 3.7 × 10−8 m3 for volume. The results may improve the modelling of the drying kinetics of this product and the determination of its various characteristics.It's not an optical illusion.

Funny the stuff you find when you do a really weird google search. DId you know this:
Interesting that it doesn't mention the adverse health effects of excess potassium. Namely radiation poisoning.
Approximately 0.1% of all potassium atoms are the radioactive K-40 isotope, which makes potassium one of the more radioactive elements in our diet.
According to this website (the second comment from Walter Dalitsch) K-40 is, pound for pound, more radioactive than U-238 (I think mostly based on the fact it has a very long half-life). U-238 is mentioned as the main component of Depleted Uranium (DU).
Quote:
However, because there are only 4g of K-40 per kilogram of banana, the banana itself is less radioactive than the DU. Compressing a
banana (density of 1.14 g/cm3) to the same density as DU (density of 19 g/cm3) brings the radioactivity difference to a factor of less than ten.
This would also question the wisdom of using KCl in the various "Lo-Sodium Salt" alternatives that are available today
Although I think the chances of getting radiation poisoning from excess Potassium are pretty small (your body would probably just excrete any excess potassium not needed by the body), it's a Quite Interesting fact not often mentioned by people pointing out how healthy bananas are for you.It's not an optical illusion.
