Practical uses for black light: banana ripeness

[jducoeur]

Check out this amusing article from Ars Technica last week: it turns out that, when a banana is perfectly ripe, it glows bright blue under black light. Taking bets on how long it takes before someone comes out with the Home Banana Ripe-Checker (available for $19.95 only on TV if you order today!).

Of course, my other immediate reaction is that this is surely a good thing to know for Paranoia Live games: they've now come up with a way to create Higher-Security-Level bananas. There's the hook for a game right there...

Yellow Clearance Black Box Blues...with a banana. And banana peels. A single classic clown, dressed all in white...wow, that just reeks with potential.
