Is it a bird? is it a plane? is it pea?

well yes its a kind of pea actually bet you never knew that did you?!
This usless fact also means that it is a vegetable.

“The plant’s name combines the morphemes pea and nut, causing some confusion as to the nature of the fruit. Although a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the fruit of the peanut plant is a woody, indehiscent legume and not a nut. The word pea describes the edible seeds of many other legumes in the Fabaceae family, and in that sense, a peanut is a kind of pea”.

Anyone got any other useless facts?

not about nuts tho… 😉
apparently Brazil was named after the Brazil nut believe it or not.
Also the brazil nut is a seed and not technically a nut.

Another useless fact is that honey never goes off.

More usless facts please…

The Evil in Mr Whippy

While working as an industrial chemist at J Lyons in Hammersmith in the 1940s, Thatcher was part of a chemical research team that discovered a method of doubling the amount of air in ice cream. Using a special kind of anti-freeze the process ‘whipped’ the fresh air in. This allowed manufacturers to use less of the actual ingredients thus saving money. The ice cream became very popular amongst consumers who preferred the light flavour, and most major ice cream brands now use this manufacturing process.

So ya see, you may have thought that Mr Whippy was a good thing, but much like every other change to society Thatcher made it was inherently evil.
