It is a fact that if your nose runs and your feet smell, you're upside down...

So I am watching tv and the Dateline information tab said two septuagenarian women helping the homeless. Jim and I are like whuh? What is a septuagenarian?

The answer? A person whose age is in the seventies.

Well well, learn something new everyday.

Wow! I just learned that corn is NOT a naturally occurring plant! What we know as corn is a completely man-manipulated plant that originated in central Mexico as a grass that grew just a few kernels in each sparsely-distributed plant.

Also, NO corn on the entire planet can grow without human intervention and tending. Every plant has to begin with a fresh seed and if we stopped planting corn seeds today, the entire world would be without corn inside of 3 years.

I know, I had no idea either. I was just watching the show during dinner and it truly surprised me so I had to make sure I put it in here. I love that show!

I saw corn in IA. Then I saw some more corn. After that, they had some corn.

Come back to DeKalb. You'll see corn, and then you'll see soybeans. ;) And after that, you might see some pigs or cows.

Thanks, Wiz! No.



Here's a freaky sidebar to all that corn jazz, my sissy (who thinks she's Amish ;)) knew all about this!:eek:
