- I have a petrified banana my mom found in Guam 52 years ago that is still yellow and not shriveled.

- This sounds great. If you're looking for new banana-related material, you could check out back issues of Rockets magazine. Jim Hendrickson has a rocket called Gone Bananas that you have to see to believe.
