I wasn't sure it was a fact, but I have believed it for years! This is why I won't eat supermarket corn. I'm just glad to have data. I think I need to eat tonight's second ear now.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Luckily, I no longer have to worry about storing corn. Until next week!
