“First of all, I tried peeling the banana from the other side, it doesn’t work if you don’t have long nails. ”

Actually, you can. You have to pinch that end of the banana. Seriously. Splits right open.

What does it mean if you peel the banana in the middle? hmmm… Maybe we have found the missing link?!

Jean-Pierre Gaston is doing an excellent job calculating the value of about 250 domains per minute. The man is pure genius (and the scarf looks tres chic).

Andy, it’s humor man. Chill out.

Hmm did he get valuate to revalue the sale of his dropping.com? (Which he bought off a colleague of mine)

When he first listed it it showed for sale on domaining com @ $40 000

next day (literally) he listed it on the same site for $60 000

Thats a pretty good overnight price inflation

Anyone else notice that?

Update

Francois just offered me 55 cents for all 12000

I’m sure Francois doesn’t like me (In fact I hope he doesn’t)

I submitted 12000 domains to valuate and they were all valued in the 1 cent to 50 cent region.

Anyone want to buy 12000 dns for just $ $3 k ????????

First of all, I tried peeling the banana from the other side, it doesn’t work if you don’t have long nails. Myth taken down. Secondly, the picture of the guy with the scarf was cropped out of a J. Crew catalog from 1995 so I know the story is not true. Myth taken down. It’s merely a computer program written with a bunch of IF THEN GOTO statements

But did you know apes peel off bananas the OPPOSITE way than humans do? Which – surprisingly – is the easiest method: from the tip, not from the stem So I would not be surprised if these monkeys gave more accurate evaluations than a computerized automaton.

I use to use a group of monkeys to give me accurate domain valuation.
But, eventually they got greedy and demanded more bananas.

I don’t know who they are working for now?
