The acorn, or oak nut, is the nut of the oaks and their close relatives (genera Quercus and Lithocarpus, in the family Fagaceae). It usually contains a single seed (rarely two seeds), enclosed in a tough, leathery shell, and borne in a cup-shaped cupule. Acorns vary from 1–6 cm long and 0.8–4 cm broad. Acorns take between about 6 or 24 months (depending on the species) to mature; see List of Quercus species for details of oak classification, in which acorn morphology and phenology are important factors.

A. ACORN should absolutely be investigated. So far, Congress has treated ACORN with kid gloves -- so tenderly, in fact, that one might think it was Obama's firstborn child. The stench of corruption in Washington has become so widespread, I'm surprised all the voters in this country aren't gagging and holding their noses. o_O
