They had to e grown, harvested, shipped, and purchased, all before they got too ripe to eat. When Costa Rica needed a railroad, the construction was traded for land. Soon bananas could be found in every store. So why did the CIA get involved in the process of growing and shipping fruit? I'll try to answer some dark questions, and hopefully entertain you a bit.

People report encountering staircases in the middle of nowhere. These stairs go, up, or down, but there is never any structure for them to allow access to.

Carlos Casteneda wrote many books on subjects such as Indian teachings, using peyote to enhance the mind, transcendental meditation. He told people he was born in Brazil, yet he was from Peru. He told about his time learning from an old Indian named Don Juan, who was very wise in the ways of magic. In his books he talked about being able to turn into a bird and fly. He could walk through walls, and he knew things others were unaware of. Was Casteneda telling the truth or was he just making things up.
