This is how they grow in the wild and in casual gardens. On plantations, they may find a more orderly way to propagate the bananas.
There is also another tropical fruit called annona muricata (sour apple) which has little prickly things all over the outside that I think are the seeds. These lists are very interesting. Just think, if the people that make these lists just had some fabric, thread, patterns! More creativity, but the product would be more pleasing and useful.

I have heard this before.

All I know, is that I, being a good citizen, and 18, went and got my first flu shot down at OSU that year.
Being a good citizen and all.
It was the sickest I've been in my life, and the LAST time I've ever gotten a flu shot

A few years ago I mentioned this to my doctor, and he said the same thing happened to him (He's a few years older than I am) I guess I was lucky I didn't die,m so it could have been much worse

I've had the flu ONCE since then
