Little know facts about apple turnovers.
1. The hard part is convincing the apple to turn over when it's done on one
side. A human analogy is how do you convince a sleeping sunbather to turn
over when they are burnt on one side.
2. There have been government funded trials of robot arm based image
analysis programs that will automate the process for only $10,000 per apple
to be turned over. The only successful installation is in the International
Space Station where gravity is not a factor so the apple will turn over due
to convection currents in the air flow. That's where the term convection
oven comes from.
3. There are also CIA funded research to examine whether there is a "apple
turnover gap" due to Russian experiments with apples and psychic phenomena.
4. Apple turnover is a code word that Echelon uses to identify Russian
defectors. apples are red and Russians are red, defectors are turncoats or
turnovers. Russian defector=red apple turnover
5. Board game
