First of all, massive late hugs to [livejournal.com profile] fleshdress and [livejournal.com profile] stuckinsea for the LJ gift prettinesses! *snuggles*

And, also belated, more hugs for assorted b-day wishes! Did not mean to be away from LJ for two entire days.

As Cavin & Hobbes insist, there's weirdness everywhere and I was reminded of this last night upon opening a bag of unsalted peanuts (my favourite, yum!), sporting the perceptive warning: "Product may contain traces of nuts". Um... yes? So, care to clarify for me:

Happy belated birthday.

Botanically, peanuts are not nuts although some to many (don't know any statistics) people that are allergic to nuts are also allergic to peanuts. Due to processing, peanuts like you ate might contain traces of other nuts, so this is a warning to people allergic to 'nuts without peanuts'

Because they are sooooo yummy and the only kind of nut I'm not allergic to. *sigh* And because I had a really really horrible night after an orgy of peanuts and champagne...

A peanut is a legume; I do not know how that is different from a nut, but I'm certain Wikipedia will know. ::reminds self to look this up later::

According to the this web I found :

To What Plant Family Do Peanuts Belong?
Peanuts are a legume (a member of the pea and bean family) Scientific name: Arachis hypogaea

They are beans or peas -- who knew !!! LOL :-)
