in todays Daily Mail (so it must be true) Bananas are about to go extinct. They are being overrun by a deadly fungus evidently which is impervious to all know modern fungisides. plus the second revaliation is that despite everthing they aint even a fruit there technically a berry. poor old Floog, what will become of him with no bananas to build scuptures with in this nice store You are quite correct MR TRUCKER. Within 10 years, FLOOG may be but a distant memory or, a genetically modified creature... At present, I am of the Cavendish variety, the most globally eaten Banana though there are many other varieties. I am of course a fast growing Herbaceous Perenial and it is thought that I was the very first of the Earth's fruits. Alexander the Great picked me up on a trek to India in 327BC ;D Sadly I am suffering from attack by Panama Disease :rocket: caused by soil fungus which wiped out the Gros Michel variety of my relatives back in the 50's :surrender: ......plus Black Sigatoka, another fungal disease, not to mention pests....and of course the bloody taxman!! :fist: My saving grace might be Biotechnology and Genetic modification because I am a seedless plant.....but that could mean future FLOOG's with three heads, two arms or worse still......no ability to talk.... Just think of a FLOOG-less ZRXUK........careful now, bananas have feelings too.....genetically modified feelings......

Genetically modified Floog ? as I understand it, you extract the Genes-u-Want from whatever you fancy and add them to whatever you want modifying....or get them Mail Order from "GenesRuS ".so by simply adding Panama and Sigatokan material extracted from the male Hondronicas Sigatokan/Rhesus monkey gland to the Cavendish Perennial Vulgaris....problem solved. Quite simple really.
