The problem with giving one's post a title that explicitly describes the content of the article is that there is little else to say in the body of the post.
Oh, except that "pulse" is defined by Merriam-Webster as "the edible seeds of various crops (as peas, beans, or lentils) of the legume family ; also : a plant yielding pulse". Its first recorded use in English was in 1297, and according to etymological dictionaries, it's from O.Fr. pols, from L. puls "thick gruel," probably via Etruscan, from Gk. poltos "porridge."
