wow, @sweetssj you are doing a great job at revealing history and the way of life of the people around you. Your journalist skills are so impressive. I raise around 20 different types of bananas from around the world and do not have a purple one. I do have a red one and love to see people's reaction to it, however it is not very good to eat, but the birds love it.

Have you ever touched the fur on a panda, which I understand is much different than what you would expect?
