Imported from over on the Rant Board:
Can someone get some bags of pistachios to pass out in the student section at our next home game. I just learned that the sound of cracking them open is good luck.
(Aren't Pistachios actually seeds? If so may also be helpful karma for our seeding in the BTT and The Big Dance.
From Wikipedia:
A nut is a fruit composed of a hard shell and a seed, which is generally edible. In a general context, however, a wide variety of dried seeds are called nuts, but in a botanical context, there is an additional requirement that the shell does not open to release the seed (indehiscent). )

In many countries, such as Israel and Russia, hearing the cracking of the pistachio nut was viewed as a very good omen. And in the Middle East specifically, they regarded the sound as an omen for a happy relationship. So naturally couples would meet under pistachio trees, waiting around for those nuts to assure them that their relationship was going to be a successful one. No judgment here.
