This is today's weather - snow squalls - and the pictures are all over the screen. So many bright colours and so easy to see if that snow squall is coming for you. Well, maybe. Look closely and most of the pictures are for snow squalls in the past.
I found the current forecast finally. The legend of the colour codes at the bottom is most entertaining.
Didn't the six million dollar banana get eaten by the purchaser?
"Chinese-born crypto founder Justin Sun eats a banana artwork composed of a fresh banana stuck to a wall with duct tape in Hong Kong on Friday after buying the provocative work of conceptual art by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan at a New York auction for $6.2 million. "
"To be honest, for a banana with such a back story, the taste is naturally different from an ordinary one. I could discern a hint of what Big Mike bananas from 100 years ago might have tasted like," said Sun, the founder of the cryptocurrency platform Tron.
Big Mike bananas — a common translation of the flavorful Gros Michel banana variety — were once ubiquitous and have now become virtually impossible to find.
Sun wrote that as thanks to Shah Alam — the 74-year-old Bangladeshi fruit stand employee who originally sold the banana for just 25 cents — he would purchase 100,000 bananas to be distributed for free to Alam's customers.
This is not Sun's first venture into multimillion-dollar bids. In 2019, he won a $4.8 million bid to have lunch with Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. In 2021, he put up $28 million to be among the first passengers on Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft, though that trip was ultimately canceled." Other articles have him investing $30 million in Trump's crypto project after the election.
Little did we think that a snow squall could end in a lament over a bygone banana by what looks like a crazed 34 year-old crypto billionaire.
