Your letters
At least The Sun (to whom serious props) resisted the more bellicose "How do you solve the problem? nuke Korea."

Re: Walnuts 'combat unhealthy fats'. Just how many Walnut Whips do I need to eat to get an ounce of walnuts?
Christine Bowles, Milton Keynes, England
Dear MM, I must say how pleased I was to read today's juglandaceous article Walnuts 'combat unhealthy fats', if simply because it gave me an excuse to use the word juglandaceous, which means 'pertaining to walnuts'.
Kind regards,

Wow! Misquoted by the BBC! I feel so special. On the front page of the Magazine you have "Your Letters: Robin, Edinburgh: "I know De Burgh's secret". I never said this, but I'm very pleased to make on to the actual Magazine front page.

Re: Graham from Munich's letter about bullets in water - it's just a shame we can't use the swimming pool to confirm these facts - as it is presently filled with old telephone boxes...
Mark Leonard, Docklands, London
Could somebody please clear up the bullets and water issue? I need to know how deep to dive next time I am being chased in an implausible movie scenario?

I have conducted a test to see how far bullets actually can penetrate water. I chartered a boat to the middle of the Atlantic and fired a bullet into the sea. It penetrated nearly 4 miles of water before coming to rest on the bottom. End of debate.
