Quote from: "RacingHippo"Ahh, but not everyone on the WWFM is gonig to be a recipient of The Banana*.
Welll....no...but the banana line would only be linked between the lucky recipients.
Quote from: "RacingHippo"Conversely, it's possible that some recipients of The Banana* aren't on the WWFM
But they also aren't on the banana map yet!!!  If they've got to add a pin they might as well do it on the main map and it means the vast majority (who are) simply need to add their photo and extend the line.

Quote from: "Againesis"Someone with some time on their hands could cross reference against the Frosties Worldwide Map.  

Well, I haven't really got time on my hands, but it's good work-avoidance, so I've put the next few recipients on the Banana*map, but in grey.

This presented a New Challenge: Half the recipients aren't on the WWFmap!!
So I've done as best as I can.
Here are those who are missing/guessed at so far:
  • Jim Takacs - placed with Gonzo, which is fair enough as the photo will feature you both.
  • DwDunphy - Need location. I just went for "New Jersey"
  • castironchef - Need location. Your profile says "Central California" so I found a place called Central, California, and put you in it.
  • Dena - Plonked you in the middle of The Ding
  • Brom - The WWFMap shows youi in Albuequerquerqueruqeuerue, which I'm sure isn't right. So I put you in Bromsgrove, which isn't right either but seemed appropriate.
  • D S - Your location states "Darkest SW Scotland" so I've put you in such a place - St. Enoch Underground Station, Glasgow. Curiously, searching Google for "Darkest SW Scotland" comes up with Edinburgh Football Stadium as first choice, which may well be true, but that's not exactly SW.

I came unstuck when trying to place neilgwhite as his location says "the moon". Whilst Google does have a map of the moon, I can't figure out a way of linking the two.
Anyone have any ideas?
Also, we might need to all chip in to help Ich_bin_besser with postage costs...

Don't worry about postage costs. I'm an elementary school teacher which means I'm rich.  ;)
Should I email you my addy, seeing you are right before me in the list?

And  :lol: @ your location thing.
Keep prog alive - see it live!

If you earn enough to be able to afford postage to the moon, I think I'll move to Germany and start a new profession in teaching!

Quote from: "ich_bin_besser"Should I email you my addy, seeing you are right before me in the list?
Yup, but there's no rush - it's got to make it across the USA, into France and bimble about the UK for a bit yet.

Stunning work! It's such a small world for a banana.

When excellent people like Hippo, Ron, Paul, Jem, Nellie, etc (that list is in no particular order and not comprehensive BTW) choose to spend their doing stuff for us forum dwellers, I can only see it as a great gift. Thanks RH. :)

Heh!  :lol:   I'm actually above ground and quite a bit further south than the central belt (only 7 miles from the English border actually, although we don't currently need different currency or passports or have to reset our watches every time we go to Carlisle.)  I am actually on the Frost*ies map - you just need to scroll down after it stops being in alphabetical order for some reason.   :roll:
Come on, you\'re a lion!

Aww, shucks  :oops:
It's just a bit of fun, really.

Aha! Gotcha. I'd searched for "D S" not "DS" ;)
I've moved you out from your underground station to somewhere more Southerly.

I propose, in the interests of keeping the size of the banana*s carbon shoes down, we put Mr Geront in after DwDunphy as it's not far from there. At least, a lot closer than castironchef is.
