“Mind wandering,” yes; “wool-gathering,” maybe? Daydreaming? I’d hope everyone has more tantalizing prospects to daydream about than that!

It’s the seed of a fruit.

It is a fruit – just like tomatoes.

I disagree. Googling has taken the backache and frustration out of researching answers. When I used to have a question like that, I’d pull out the big dictionary, then go further and check the encyclopedias. When we drove across country on vacation, I had a tote full of reference books! I like Googling.

If it developed from the flower of a plant, it is a fruit. If it is the plant itself, it is a vegetable.

I have quit “Googling” because China doesn’t need to know what I am looking up!

If it’s not an animal nor mineral it’s a vegetable.

In biology, it’s a fruit. In the kitchen, it’s a vegetable.

I google a lot for information.

In my stomach, it’s heartburn.

Depends on what your intended use is; The botanical definition of fruit and the culinary definition of fruit is different.

Both. A vegetable is any plant used as food.

But, since “fruit” is conventionally used for the seed bearing part of a plant which has high sugar content, it’s not strictly a fruit.

Count me tired of the fruit vs. vegetable “controversy”.
