"Keeping in mind that even large doses of vitamins are dangerous, ofcourse"
There are thousands of different species of nuts around the world, with some of the most commonly known being almonds, walnuts, cashews, and hazelnuts. The exact number of nut varieties is difficult to determine, as new cultivars and species are continuously discovered or developed. Additionally, the classification of what constitutes a "nut" can vary botanically, encompassing a wide range of seeds and fruits. Overall, the diversity of nuts is vast and varies by region and climate.
A typical peanut is about 3/8 of an inch long. There is considerable variation, however.

What Happened?
-The case started in 2002, when the Juneau-Douglas High School in Alaska let students cross the street to watch the Olympic torch pass on its way to Salt Lake City.
-As TV cameras rolled, senior Joseph Frederick and several friends held a banner saying "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" just a way to get on television.
-But the school principal told him to put the banner away, and when Frederick refused to take the banner down, she suspended him for 10 days.
-Frederick sued the principal and school for violation of his free speech
-The principal argued that she thought the message was about pot smoking and that it broke school rules against promoting illegal drugs
- Frederick said that the phrase on the banner, "Bong Hits 4 Jesus", "was never meant to have any substantive meaning. It was certainly not intended as a drug or religious message. I conveyed this to the principal by explaining it was intended to be funny, subjectively interpreted by the reader and most importantly an exercise of my inalienable right to free speech."
Journey from lower federal courts to the Supreme Court:
-Frederick filed a suit against the principal and school board in US District Court, alleging the principal's actions infringed his First Amendment rights. The District Court granted summary judgment to the defendants, holding that the Morse made a reasonable interpretation of the banner's message, and was authorized to stop the potentially disruptive activity because it occurred at a school-sponsored event. The Court ruled that Morse and the Juneau School Board had qualified immunity against legal action, and had not infringed Frederick's right to free speech.
-Frederick appealed the suit to the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which reversed the lower court ruling on the grounds that the school had punished Frederick without demonstrating that his expression posed a "risk of substantial disruption." The Ninth Circuit's holding closely paralleled the decision in Tinker v. Des Moines, a Supreme Court case that upheld students' right to non-disruptive political expression.
-The school board petitioned the Supreme Court to review the Ninth Circuit's decision. On December 1, 2006, the Court accepted the case
-Deborah Morse and the Juneau School Board won by a vote of 5-4. The Supreme Court held that the "school speech" doctrine applied, allowing greater restriction of students' free speech, because the incident occurred at a school-sponsored event during the school day, among other students

Peanuts are a good fuel source due to their high oil content, which can be converted into biodiesel, a renewable energy source. Additionally, peanut biomass can be used to produce bioenergy through combustion or gasification, contributing to sustainable energy solutions. Their cultivation also supports soil health and can reduce agricultural waste, making peanuts an environmentally friendly option for fuel production.
Is a chestnut and a buckeye the same?
No.
Buckeyes belong to the genus Aesculus (family Hippocastanaceae). Chestnuts belong to the genus Castanea(family Fagaceae, which also contains oaks and beeches).
You are probably confusing chestnuts with horsechestnuts (not related), which are also Aesculus, like the buckeyes. The family name, Hippocastanaceae means, "horsechestnut."

Why does a nuthatch store nuts?
Nuthatches store nuts to ensure a reliable food supply during the winter months when resources are scarce. By hiding nuts in various locations, they can retrieve them later when foraging becomes more challenging. This behavior also helps them to avoid competition for food and protects their food stash from other animals. Additionally, caching nuts allows nuthatches to take advantage of their excellent spatial memory to locate their hidden food.

Why don't they dye pistachios red anymore?
According to Wikipedia, they were dyed to hide the blemishes on the shell as a result of hand picking, but now that it is done by machine it's no longer necessary. Also, some people seem to think it might have been a marketing ploy.
