There is a cashew nut tree in Natal, Brazil, that covers 80,000 sq ft, twice the size of an American football field. The torpedo was named after the torpedo ray, a harmless looking fish that can deliver a powerful electric shock! During World War II, the Scottish psychic Helen Duncan was imprisoned under the British witchcraft act of 1735 after claiming to have heard wore secrets from a ghost that went down with a British Navy ship.

Trader Joe’s Markets once sold bags of, "The Worlds Largest Cashews’.Mebbe that’s the tree they came from.
