    I always thought peanuts were nuts and grew on trees. Oh how utterly, devastatingly naive I’ve been…

          Botanically yes, peanuts are legumes and not technically beans. Calling it a legume makes me think about silage and feed. So, they are beans to me.

            Feed is food though right? I mean as long as you’re not allergic of course.

            Damn that would suck, being allergic to peanuts…

      Yeah, I mean can you imagine what squirrels would do to peanut trees? They’d mess them up. Squirrels are basically tiny chimpanzees.
