Tangent: I did have an Iowa-related thought last night while failing to fall asleep. Maybe one of you fancy statistic nerds or economists people can give me some sort of hypothetical answer: if Iowa were evenly covered with napalm during harvest season, exactly how much of North America would be covered by popcorn, and would this maybe lead to an extinction-level event? I’d imagine there’s some moisture or carbon dioxide or monoxide or whatever that’s let off when that corn pops. What with all of it going at once, the increase of pressure into the air might just blow out the planet’s atmosphere and kill us in like six different ways at once. Never figured out how to salt and butter it, though.
