Anyway, in the Bible there's a lion that's supposed to be lying with
the lamb. THERE'S MY HUNGRY LION TO BE PACIFIED... WITH A BANANA! ;)

some are big and are called "plantains." They are fried when green and
are a delicacy with salt, mouth watering. Hawaiian type is specially
delicious. "Hairy banana" is an indoor banana. Many mysteries in the
jungle, huh?
