Why aren’t walnuts killing us?
Maybe they’re afraid to after centuries of being soundly thrashed.
A woman, a dog, and a walnut tree
The more they’re whipped, the better they’ll be.
I cannot vouch for the efficacy of this treatment for women and dogs. Or, come to that, for walnut trees.
“juglone, […] found in the walnut tree’s roots, bark, leaves, wood, and green nut-hulls”
If you’re eating any of the above, you’re doing it wrong. Very, very wrong.
You can, however, brew teas from those things…it’s supposed to be good for stomach troubles or something. Can’t say as I’ve tried it myself.
If your stomach troubles are tapeworms, maybe. Especially if you’re a mouse.
If you give a mouse a walnut-hull tea…
My uncle has a vineyard planted on land that used to have walnut trees. He kept about 30 of the trees so he has access to a lot of green walnuts. One year we made Nocino with vacuum distilled brandy. This cutting up green walnuts and soaking them in alcohol. The results are OK but the liquor is too sweet for my tastes.
My hands were stained for a month from cutting walnuts.
This recipe is similar to what we did.
The only way a walnut can harm humans is if it contains Absorbitron. Even then it doesn’t really kill you. It will make you lose your thumbs though.
Forget apricots!
Walnuts: The new apricots!
I just ate a handful of walnuts before coming to the computer and reading this article. I had the taste of them in my mouth while reading the entire thing. It was a rather unusual experience.
Come back tomorrow and tell us if you’re still alive.
Danny Thomas?
But you do get that useful third eye in exchange.
I read the thread title as “Why aren’t walruses killing us?”
If those things get pissed off and organized, look out. :eek:
WHAT is a “Danny Thomas”?
Because we give them stylish berets to wear.
Wait, I thought it was acorns that wore stylish berets.
And walnuts are also really good for staining wood. Got a piece of furniture with an ugly gouge in it? Get some walnuts (the eating kind), rub the meat of the nut (the part you eat) against the gouge, and watch it disappear. The physical damage will still be there, but the nut does a wonderful job of staining and blending the colors so it becomes almost unnoticeable.
An actor and singer of some decades back. His connection with walnuts involves an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show in which he famously guest-starred.
I’m not sure who is whooshing who exactly but just in case I will link to this part of the episode in question… (The relevant part is about 40 seconds in.)
His character in this episode is from the planet Twilo. One guess as to his name. 
Would you like a nice glass of air?
I think this conversation has gone into the Twilo Zone. :rolleyes:
