Has the world gone nuts? No, it’s just those crazy Canadians and their love for banana hammocks blimps. Currently there is an “Art Intervention” project (guess we aren’t cultured enough?) going on to place a geostationary banana over Texas.
The helium-filled banana will have gyroscopes to propel the blimp-like structure in a boomerang pattern over Texas for about a month. While Houstonist loves a good banana hammock as much as the next guy girl, we have to doubt the validity of this project (Air Traffic nightmare, anyone?). The proposed launch date is August of 2008.
Have any thoughts on the Geostationary Banana? Give us some feedback in the comments.
