On this Day in History

quote:

Maize has become a staple food in many parts of the world, with total production surpassing that of wheat or rice. However, not all of this maize is consumed directly by humans. Some of the maize production is used for corn ethanol, animal feed and other maize products, such as corn starch and corn syrup. The six major types of corn are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn.[2]

St Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland.

Snakes are a metaphor for pagans

There weren't any snakes in Ireland to chase out
