Didn't you know...

That the burmese language has no word for 'pistachio' and so is referred to as 'the nut we do not have a name for'?

The pistachio nut is often roasted and salted before it is even slaughtered. For years there have been reports of live nuts being discovered in nut assortments, often too late as they only make their presence known by screaming when being eaten?

The name Pistachio is English, as are all Italian words that were developed during the late 18th century, the language having been colonised during those years by the British Empire?

Before the Battle of Rourke's Drift, it rained pistachio nuts on the Indians and General Custer took it as a sign of his impending victory over the Hapsburgs?

Pete Doherty originally got into Heroin, Cocaine and all the other things that Rockstars do except make good music because he was desperately trying to wean himself off hazelnuts?

He was on hazelnuts because he was weaning himself off pistachio?

If you got an infinite number of Shakespeares together and gave them an infinite number of typewriters, eventually they would produce the complete works of 'Monkey!'?

If you got an infinite number of walnuts and gave them an infinite number of pecans, it would get pretty nutty round here oh ho ho ho ho HO?

Just 29% of people are fatally allergic to pistachio nuts. A further 14% will die just upon seeing them, even in a photograph. Mercifully, only a small 8% will immediately die upon thinking about them?

The pistachio nut and the zebra are on the natioanl flag of Sweden?

Speaking of Shakespeare, apparently Tony Parsons is very fond of pistachios and buys them?

The pistachio nut is not actually a nut per se. No, it's a nut in and of itself?

In fact, it's a nut's nut. The nut other nuts want to be. The Man of nuts. Yup. It's The Nuts?
