LARS got the right answer!! Skibby, did you make those words up? I loved that comment.

Peanuts, walnuts, almonds, cashews and pistachios all have this in common. What is it?

Q: Peanuts, walnuts, almonds, cashews and pistachios aren’t nuts. They’re classed as seeds, because a nut is defined as “a hard-shelled dry fruit or seed with a separable rind or shell and interior kernel.”

Today's question is

We didn’t start to use these until the mid 1900’s. They kept changing into the 60’s and 70’s and now every house has at least one and on average 9. What are they?

I used to work in a nursing home. I was the nursing office "do-whatever" for the day shift. Once, I had to take a form around to the nurses for them to read and sign.
