PW SCIENCE CORNER - THE BANANA EFFECT

Have you ever been riding the subway or waiting in line for groceries and spotted a man in a banana suit? If you’re one of the millions of Americans who have witnessed this scenario, you may have noticed the massive amounts of attention the banana suit brings. This is no mere effect of color psychology or difference-interference. What few people know is that the banana suit carries with it an amazing scientific property: the banana suit amplifies and projects human body language.

A banana-suit man need not ever speak – this amplification of body language renders all spoken languages obsolete. The results of this discovery can have far-reaching effects: once banana-suit technology reaches developing nations, for example, inexpensive educational systems can prosper. International business between corporate executives can be carried out without the need of translators. And finally, dead mediums like television, radio, and satirical college newsletters will be a thing of the past.
