Contest: Share your general knowledge week 10

I saw this contest and I figured I had to participate, so here is my submission.

Dates are grown at which type of land?

I don't even need Google for this, dates are od course better fit for growth in sandy soil and I guess they also need a lot of sun. Yes, when I see dates I usually think of the Middle East, hot and sandy. By the way here in Honduras, at least in the north coast, which is extremely hot and we do have a lot of sandy soil, we do have dates. No, they are not grown commercially but every once in a while you can come up on one of these palms.

Plexus word used for what in medical?

OK, I have heard of solar plexus but am not sure what the definition is so for this one I look at Google to see what we have. A plexus is a bundle of intersecting nerves, blood vessels, or lymphatic vessels, wow I had no idea this was so, I was just thinking it was a muscle in the stomach which hurt a lot when it was hit, but it is actually an intersection of nerves, or vessels. You have in your body a whole lot of plexus, spinal plexus, brachial plexus, cervical plexus, lumbar plexus, and a whole lot more. I actually learned something with this contest, I had no idea what a plexus is.

This is a nerve plexus node.

World largest continent?

I don't need to look this up, the World's largest continent is Asia, also the most populated. I guess it is also the most diverse in everything, flora fauna, climate, development, tourist attractions, it has an incredibly old history and nowadays is also becoming the most important in terms of finance. It is so extensive that it has every possible climate we can find on this Earth. I would actually like to visit this continent, even though I would have to satisfy myself with just a little sight of it, too big to even think of visiting all of it.
