Almond Pine nut Peanut Hazelnuts ps:Well I thought it was cashews? At least the recipes I have call for cashews?? Answer: Did you know that pine nuts come from pine cones? Pine nuts are an edible seed, found inside pine cones. You may already have eaten pine nuts without even knowing it. One of the main ingredients in pesto sauce is pine nuts! This teardrop-shaped, delicious little nut takes roughly 18 months to mature. Pine nuts are ready to harvest about 10 days before the green cone begins to open. The cones are then smashed (as a way to quickly release the seeds) and the seeds are separated by hand from the cone fragments.

Jeeves Mr. Belvedere Benson Lurch Wasn't that Lurch?? Answer: Lurch is a fictional character created by cartoonist Charles Addams as a manservant to The Addams Family. In the original television series, Lurch was played by 6'9" Ted Cassidy, who used the famous catchphrase, "You rang?" Lurch is a tall, shambling, lugubrious butler who somewhat resembles Frankenstein's monster with a deep, resonant voice. As originally conceived, Lurch was to have no lines, but in the show's pilot episode, Ted Cassidy ad-libbed the line "You rang?" in his trademark deep voice, and it was so impressive that it led to Lurch getting more dialogue.

The Natural Field of Dreams A League of Their Own Bull Durham Answer: Field of Dreams is a 1989 film about an Iowa corn farmer who hears a voice telling him: "If you build it, he will come." He interprets this as an instruction to build a baseball diamond in his fields; after he does, Shoeless Joe Jackson and other dead baseball players emerge from the cornfields to play ball. The film stars Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, James Earl Jones, Ray Liotta and Burt Lancaster in his final role. Field of Dreams was nominated for three Academy Awards including Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Picture.

United States Switzerland Germany Ethiopia You'd think it would be Germany, right?? Answer: German chocolate cake is a layered chocolate cake from the United States filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. It owes its name to a chocolate maker named Samuel German, who developed a formulation of dark baking chocolate that came to be used in the cake recipe. The brand name of the product, Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate, was named in honor of him. The possessive form (German's) was dropped forming the "German Chocolate Cake" identity and giving the false impression of a German origin.

Much like Lucille Ball herself, Lucille McGillicuddy Ricardo was born and raised in Jamestown, New York (per episode #138), to an American family of Scottish descent. The marriage between Scottish American Lucy and Latino Ricky marked the first appearance of a mixed marriage on an American TV show. I Love Lucy debuted in 1951, sixteen years before Loving v. Virginia legalized all forms of interracial marriage in all 50 states. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

New York Yankees Dallas Cowboys Boston Celtics Los Angeles Dodgers Answer: While plenty of people have high-fived before, few know the high five's history. The high five was invented by Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Glenn Burke when he spontaneously high-fived fellow outfielder Dusty Baker after a home run during a game in 1977. Baker's rookie teammate Glenn Burke was waiting for him on deck, and as Baker crossed home plate, Glenn put his arm high in the air, and Dusty didn't know what to do, so he slapped it. According to Baker, “It seemed like the thing to do." And the rest, as they say, was history… Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2

Johnny Appleseed Sitting Bull Paul Bunyan Billy the Kid Answer: Paul Bunyan is a giant lumberjack in American folklore. Legend has it that Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes were created by Paul Bunyan’s footprints filling with water as he explored the state. A longstanding symbol of strength and vitality, his exploits revolve around the tall tales of his superhuman labors, and he is customarily accompanied by Babe the Blue Ox. It has become a rite of passage for Minnesotans to snap their photo with the iconic 26-foot-tall statue of the lumberjack located at Paul Bunyan Land in Brainerd, Minnesota.

Google Yahoo Bing AOL Answer: Co-founded in 1994 by Jerry Yang and David Filo while they were PhD students at Stanford, the company that would become a leading search engine and pioneer of the internet used to go by a much lesser known name. The search engine giant began as Jerry’s Guide to the World Wide Web, but by 1995 the founders realized they’d need something a bit more concise, so they renamed the company Yahoo! -- an acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle." According to Filo, the exclamation point was added for “pure marketing hype.” Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Mickey Mouse Superman Sherlock Holmes Spider-Man Superman?? Answer: Superman was the creation of two teenagers from Cleveland, Ohio: writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joseph Shuster, both children of Jewish immigrants. They were students at Glenville High School when they met in 1931, a pair of shy, awkward and unpopular kids who shared an interest in adventure and science fiction stories. In March 1938, Siegel and Shuster sold the rights to Superman to Detective Comics, the future DC Comics, for $130. By this time, they had resigned themselves that Superman would never be a success.

Guava Carambola Durian Kumquat Answer: Carambola or starfruit, is a popular variety of fruit that is packed with nutrients and minerals. The name comes from the distinct shape of this fruit when it is cut in a cross-section – the shape of a star. The fruit is approximately 3-6 inches in length and the flesh of the fruit is yellow, crisp and tart in taste. The entire fruit can be eaten including the waxy outer layer. They may also be used in cooking and can be made into relishes, preserves, and juice drinks.

Members phkrause Posted January 28, 2018 Author Members Posted January 28, 2018 16 hours ago, phkrause said: Who was the stapler originally invented for? King Louis XV Catherine the Great The IRS William Shakespeare Answer: The first known stapler was made in the 18th century in France for King Louis XV. Each staple was inscribed with the insignia of the royal court, as required. Legend has it that the ornate staples it used were forged from gold, encrusted with precious stones, and bore his Royal Court's insignia. The growing uses of paper in the 19th century created a demand for an efficient paper fastener. Modern staplers can be traced back to a patent filed by Henry R. Heyl in 1877 for the first machine to both insert and clinch a staple in one step.
