  • en: half the width of an em
  • crackpot: a whimsically eccentric person
  • addict: someone who is so ardently devoted to something that it resembles an addiction; "a golf addict"; "a car nut"; "a bodybuilding freak"; "a news junkie"
  • gather nuts
  • testis: one of the two male reproductive glands that produce spermatozoa and secrete androgens; "she kicked him in the balls and got away"

get google chrome, type coconut into address bar, click first link, read first paragraph: The term coconut can refer to the entire coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which is not a botanical nut, don't make thread.

The Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the Family Arecaceae (palm family). It is the only species in the genus Cocos, and is a large palm, growing to 30 m tall, with pinnate leaves 4-6 m long, pinnae 60-90 cm long; old leaves break away cleanly leaving the trunk smooth. The term coconut refers to the fruit of the coconut palm. but since it has the definition of a nut, it is classified as a nut

coconuts are mammals. they have milk, hair, eyes, there are males and females, and the hard white stuff around the inside is called flesh. clearly they are mammals.

Are grape-nuts made out of grapes and nuts? Nope, they're made out of dried oats.



The world is just a fucked up place. Deal with it

She says it's not... But in my experience, it takes far less time to type into google search then it does to seek out answers on NS. Plus, the answers on the search would contain 100% less trolling. So if it wasn't for attention or something similar... She is just dumb. No offense....

no, according to greek mythalogy, zeus turned hiself into a lion and came down to earth to seduce a woman. long story short, he ended up fucking a spider. those spiders then became coconuts for the villagers to eat. the end.

ps: this a legit greek mythology story

Well usually people try to be funny to garner some sort of attention. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just pointing out that it is for attention on some level. :)

you can overdiscuss everything while trying to sound "intelligent". its like when some "intelligent" kids come up and say that they are very nosy and stuff and curious about everything and start to ask the stupidest questions (and by kids i mean around 12-16 years).

like if a glass can be "half empty" when empty means nothing while full means 100% so there can be 50% and shit.

and this is obviously another lame attempt in this department.
