Did you know that a peanut is a bean, not a nut? It’s true

Does anyone else know any strange facts like this one?

Tomatos are fruits, not vegetables. Whalebone isn't real bone, but a membrane built for straining out water when baleen whales eat tiny crustaceons; it's made of keratin, the same substance in our hair and nails. Gunpowder, pasta and movable type all originated in ancient China (they made wooden type long before Gutenberg). tjoeb};>
