An ear of corn always has an even number of rows because of the genetic formula which divides the cell.

In 1948 and 1950 the oldest ears of popping corn were discovered. They were located in the Bat Cave of west central New Mexico. They ranged in size from smaller than a penny to approximately two inches, and were about 4,000 years old.

The average lifespan of an eyelash is five months.
