Armageddon Peanuts

According to a headline this morning there have now been 666 people who have been sickened by peanuts containing salmonella.

I'm afraid I can see where this is going.

666 is supposedly the number of the beast (aka: the Devil). So obviously someone is laying the groundwork for trying to convince us that the tainted peanuts are bringing us one step closer to Armageddon.

That's right, the Devil is hard at work weakening our faith by slipping us poisoned peanuts.

Well, I guess anything is possible. So perhaps we need to nip this sneak attack in the bud.

It seems to me an almond butter and jelly sandwich could be just as satisfying as peanut butter and jelly. Let's try spreading cashew paste on our celery sticks. And if we want something crunchy, walnut brittle sounds like it would be much more of a chewing challenge than peanut brittle.

So there Beelzebub - nuts to you!
