In Norfolk, Virginia it is forbidden for a young woman to go dancing without wearing her corset.
Have you ever seen one of those warning labels on a jar of peanut butter or a pack of mixed nuts which reads, "Caution, contains nuts." The initial reaction might be "well, duh!" Actually, there is a legitimate reason why these packages have this label. First, a little biology/horticulture lesson: Peanuts and nuts are technically different. Most nuts are actually seeds or seed meat used by the tiny embryonic plant to grow during the early stages of life. A peanut, on the other hand, is a tuber, like a potato. Peanuts actually grow underground and are part of a plant's roots.
Many people can have mild to violent reactions to nuts and/or peanuts. They may be sold separately (as in our peanut butter case) but during manufacturing, the same equipment that processes nuts, may also process peanuts. Since some people may not be allergic to peanuts, but may be allergic to other nuts, this can be a very bad thing. People have even died due to severe allergic reactions to peanuts and nuts. Even the smell can cause a reaction from highly sensitive people.

NEVER BUY A NOISY CACTUS - A TRUE STORY
In the second such incident in the Southwest, a San Diego woman purchased a large cactus during the redecoration of her home. The huge cactus was a fitting centerpiece for her "New Southwest" look, and she was quite happy with her $3,000 purchase, for a
while. A few days later, she noticed that the big cactus seemed to be swaying...and humming. Bewildered and not knowing where else to turn, she dialed 9-1-1 and fortunately for her - got an operator who knew what this "uncactuslike" behavior meant. She was told to clear out of the house immediately - like right now! * and wait for an emergency team. The responding five man team had just enough time to move the huge cactus into the back yard before it burst wide open, scattering about a thousand tarantulas in all directions. The nursery where she had purchased the cactus refunded her $3,000 and paid for exterminator service for the entire block. When asked later how her plants were, the lady replied, "Plastic and silk, thank you!" The fashion of using cacti for home decoration is fairly new, but tarantulas have been using them for mass breeding farms for a long, long time.
