A New Menace At The Border

I dont' think this idea will fly. At least not for long.

TORONTO (AP) - It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a giant banana! Montreal artist Cesar Saez wants to fly a monster banana balloon over Texas late next year. Saez says his banana will be 985 feet long. He plans to launch the huge banana in Mexico and have it float over the U-S border. He figures the banana balloon should stay aloft for up to a month. Saez says he needs a (m) million dollars for the banana project and he's got about an eighth of that amount. So why fly a giant banana over Texas? Saez says, why not.

Ah, what would we do without artists?
