6) Native to both Europe and the Americas, today this fruit is cultivated in the U.S. from Alaska to Florida, but it is rarely cultivated from seed. The U.S. produces 75% of the world's crop, and it is an important crop in Canada, Australia, Japan, and parts of Africa.

Its name is very old, dating back to at least 1000 AD, There are many theories, but no one really knows for sure how, why and where its name originated. The Romans valued it for its supposed medicinal properties, such as healing loose teeth and treating stomach problems.

This fruit is technically an enlarged pulpy receptacle bearing numerous achenes, or in other words an aggregate of numerous nutlets distributed on an enlarged, pulpy, scarlet receptacle. It is 90% water and contains more vitamin C than an equal quantity of lemons or oranges.

Name this fruit.

7) The Encyclopedia Britannica gives the following description of this bean: The fresh beans "have no aroma. The characteristic aroma results from enzymatic action during curing. The traditional method begins with subjecting the harvested beans to a process of nightly sweating and daily exposure to the sun for about 10 days, until they become deep chocolate brown in color. Then the beans are spread on trays in an airy shelter until dry enough for grading and packing. Curing and drying requires from four to five months. The best grade of cured bean pods may be covered with tiny crystals, which provide the characteristic aroma, sweet, rich, and delicate. This coating, known as givre, may be used as a criterion of quality."
Name this bean.

Word Association Test

I was looking for the answer to a question in a test I took yesterday, and I accidentally ran across this test. For a lark I took it; somewhat disturbed by the results. Basically, it's a word association test. You're given 100 words, and asked to rank them "negative," positive," or neutral." I wanted to protest, but damn if they don't have my number:

Why I make a kick-ass babysitter

Stolen from Tracy Lynn Kaply (I asked her to just give it to me, but she's quite niggardly about such things), who herself probably stole it from a host of others, we present:

I feel with training I can do much better. Shockingly (and shamefully, for her), the eternally pissed-off one could only take 28. Some of you are in better shape than I, and I expect more from you. (But don't cheat in your answers. Breaking a five year old's knee caps is one thing. Lying about it is another.)

What Hyperion Means

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are influential and persuasive. You tend to have a lot of power over people. Generally, you use your powers for good. You excel at solving other people's problems. Occasionally, you do get a little selfish and persuade people to do things that are only in your interest. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

Food Quiz

So you think you know a lot about food? Take this culinary quiz, and find out just how much of an idiot you are. (My sister and I took the quiz together and only managed 4 and a third. Should have been five and a third. Yup. That was our ceiling!)


1) There are over 450 varieties of this 'nut', many of which have been used for food. They are native to all continents except Australia. What nut is this?

2) Cheese has been colored with various plant substances for hundreds of years. Yellow/orange coloring may have originally been added to cheese made with winter milk from cows eating hay to match the orange hue (from vitamin A) of cheeses made with milk from cows fed on green plants.

4) This traditional dish of a central European country can trace its origins back to the ninth century Magyar shepherds. Originally it consisted of chunks of meat and onions, slowly cooked until all the liquid was boiled away, and then dried in the sun.

By the early part of the 18th century, there had been improvement of the wild type previously transported to Italy, France, and England, and as early as 1726, the plant was being used in England to flavor soup and stews. The modern variety we all now know, was first cultivated in Kalamazoo Michigan, in 1874. Name this common vegetable.

Guess that Phrase

On that "Am I Dumb? quiz yesterday I found a "genius" quiz, split into three parts. As it seems they might have taken their questions from other sources, I felt no qualms about taking some of theirs. I thought I would post the first part, and if popular, I can post the others as well. What you are trying to do is guess the traditional saying from the first letters of the main words. For example:

a f in n is a f i - a friend in need is a friend indeed

You see how they do it. Note also that "a" can just mean the word a, as well as a word that starts with "a." (This comes up several times below.)

If you want to post what you think are the answers, that's cool, but I would ask that you not do more than 5 or so, to let others have a chance to shine. See how you do: you might surprise yourself.

Am I Dumb?

Brazenly stolen from Sparky Duck (and only because he insulted me by calling me a Republican, which to Sparky Duck is akin to calling me a child molester, and isn't high on my list either), I bring you......

Am I Dumb?

Yes, friends, it is a quiz; 25 questions to find out how smart you are.

People, if you miss any of these questions, I don't want to speak to you anymore.

Well, that's sort of harsh. Let's say if you miss more than 2. Anyone can click on the wrong circle or somehow think Italy is ginormous.

Am-I-Dumb.com - Are you dumb?

You will notice that in the little bubble above there is a grammatical error. One can only hope that this is one last jab by the test makers to the people who are intending to brag. (You do know what the grammar error is, right?)

Not for nothing, but I would also like to point out that in a percentile ranking system, you CANNOT be better than 100% of all quiz takers (let alone 100.0), because YOU YOURSELF ARE ONE OF THE PEOPLE IN THE GROUPING. Sometimes I just want to shoot the world in the head.

Let's see how you do:

You're Watership Down!

by Richard Adams

Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're
actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their
assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they
build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd
be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits.

You're To Kill a Mockingbird!

by Harper Lee

Perceived as a revolutionary and groundbreaking person, you have
changed the minds of many people. While questioning the authority around you, you've also taken a significant amount of flack. But you've had the admirable guts to persevere. There's a weird guy in the neighborhood using dubious means to protect you,but you're pretty sure it's worth it in the end. In the end, it remains unclear to you whether finches and mockingbirds get along in real life.
