Shortly before I woke up, I was having a dream which was set in a sort of fantasy RNA Show (the Ekka, if you're from Brisbane.) I think it was Dick Smith who was walking around with me. (Don't ask me why - apart from the fact he was recently on some TV promo for a current affairs program giving away money to people.)
It ended up at a table where Bob Geldorf and, I think, some other famous person, were drinking with Dick Smith and me. There were nuts on the table being eaten as a snack (I remember walnuts in particular - toasted walnuts are perhaps my favourite nut) and Bob made the comment that he used to lead an unhealthy lifestyle in which the only thing he ate was nuts. I asked whether he knew that peanuts were not actually a nut. Then the person sitting next to Geldorf said "that's right, they're a legume."
When I woke up, I couldn't quite recall whether that was right (the bit about being a legume, I mean.) The Peanut Institute confirms it is.
Some people dream of winning lottery numbers, or solve scientific puzzles. My subconscious is quite a bit more useless.
