And here's my Do-It-Yourself version for anyone else with opinions and Photoshop.

Did you post the DIY version on the XKCD comic thread?

[eclectic-boy.livejournal.com]

Nah, cause the strip is two days old already, and I'd just be posting to comment number three-hundred-something. I figure nobody reads that far down in the comments. Tell me if you know otherwise, I'd be willing to do it...

Well, I don't have photoshop, but I do have MS Paint...



I also have opinions.

I don't agree, but find your opinion on bananas hilarious! Like the notation.

[gallusgallus.livejournal.com]

Define the distance from fruit A to fruit B to be sqrt([tastiness(A)-tastiness(B)]^2+[easiness(A)-easiness(B)]^2).
Let X be the locus of all fruits whose distances from a red apple and an orange sum to a constant C.
Then X is a Fruity Ellipse

My opinion on bananas is very important to me, and is the primary reason I undertook this exercise. Also because I felt that everyone (except maybe tirerim... maybe...) was unfairly maligning tomatoes.

The last time I had to touch a banana, around age 8, I was unsuccessful in suppressing my gag reflex--and I was just supposed to be feeding the 2nd-grade-class turtle, not eating it myself! College was problematic for me, because of how frequently some of my closest friends threw banana peels at everyone--where "everyone" was typically me--at SWILtable. I almost got killed by aryky--crushed between the table and the wall of Sharples--over a banana peel I may or may not have been hiding from her. Also, a banana ate my sister three years ago.
