Nuts

At World War II in European West theatre once German troops surrounded the American army. Germans proposed American counterpart to surrender. The reply Americans sent was just one word 'Nuts'. I am not sure whether Germans understood the meaning of the word.
Last night my girlfriend asked, pointing out the pictures in advertisement of intel and slashdot, what the brain-like objects are, I answered 'it's nuts'. She said 'I see.'
I had no idea why nuts means a fool in English until she points out. Brain made of nuts must be 'nuts'.
