Smoking pistachio nut

The Cuarto Derecha blog is a good source of interesting and surprising photos, like this one of a smoking pistachio nut. I don't understand Spanish, but I'll bet the stories are interesting, too. Link

The blog is in French and Spanish. This story is a take on the recent smoking ban in French bars and restaurants... They talk about taking the photo:

Meeting with the pals

"Look, a smoking pistaccio!"
"Ooo, how cute!"
"This one goes on the blog, right now!"
"Ooo, it's funny!"
"Use the super-mega-macro..."
"Click"

Then, in comments, somebody makes a crack about "pistaccios being banned in French bars because of your little games"!
