Can a pineapple light a light bulb?

Yes, if you had differing metals, maybe from opposite sides of the period table. The citric acid would act as an electrolyte and cause electrons to move between the electrodes. I think you'd only get about a half volt in such an arrangement, so generally you'd use 3 lemons in series to power a watch. Maybe 6+ would power an LED, but test and see as you go, it may take less. A volt meter would help so you will know the polarity and the amount of voltage you are getting.

Also, you might want to try limes. They tend to be firmer and might last longer (in terms of spoilage). You don't want a science fair project to rot before it can be judged.

No. Or maybe yes. It depends on what you mean by "substitute for".

Pineapple juice is significantly lower in Vitamin C and higher in sugar and calories than either lemon or orange juice.

However, if you've got a recipe for an orange smoothie, and you want to make a pineapple smoothie instead and you're not particularly concerned about the nutritional aspects, you just like pineapple more than you like orange, go for it.

In cooking, I doubt it. Pineapple juice is very sweet whereas orange and lemon/lime is acidic which is what the recipe called for.

put in a plastic container with the top on and store in the fridge.

Pineapple pizza, often referred to as "Hawaiian Pizza" originated in... no, not Hawaii - but Germany.

Actually, it originated in 1973 in Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia at the suggestion of Jane Golding (a teacher at Charters Towers State High School). One evening I was making a variety of pizzas for dinner and Jane suggested adding pineapple to the ham pizza (WEIRD!! I thought...) but it was very good.

Later, the term "pine cone" came into widespread use for the reproductive body of the pine tree, and the term "pineapple" was no longer used for that purpose, but the association of the word with the tropical fruit remained in use.

Why do pineapples have spines?

Pineapples are prickly because they are prematurely picked before ripened. There are certain animals that will wait for the fruit to ripen before picking it and it is actually soft on the outside. The other reason a pineapple is prickly is because it provides protection for the fruit itself much like a shell does an egg.
