hey deftarchangel,
i read a book at my naturopath chiropractor's office about the benefits of coconut oil, and it also stated that the milk from coconuts can be used as a replacement for blood plasma. there are also many other benefits to coconuts. and, the one about oak trees not producing acorns til the tree is at least 50 yrs old isn't true. we have an oak tree that was planted in our yard 10 yrs ago, as a very young tree (within 5 yrs old), and it is producing acorns like mad, and it has now grown as tall as our house.  i enjoyed the list. i like to read trivia. interesting.
