  4. Was just eating some peanuts - Planters, actually. And I got to wondering about where they came from. It's kind of a weird thing, how far removed we can be from our food. So, I Googled "Peanut Plant" and learned that the peanuts actually grow underground. I wouldn't have guessed that - I'm wondering about more kinds of nuts now. Do they all grow underground? Hmmmm.
