Like Pine nuts, for example, if indeed they aren't from the Pine tree, which I suspect they arent. Are there any other items hiding under names that they shouldn't?
Man It's laaate.

Pine nuts do indeed come from Pine trees. Mostly Pinus pinea - Stone Pine in Europe and Pinus edulis - Pinyon Pine in America. viking 08-04-2005, 07:49 Right then, on my car: (1) The Window washer washes. (2) The Wipers wipe.
