This paper isn't about corns, but I felt it was more appropriate here than in chit-chat. I hope some people find this interesting - I certainly did.

Brief factoid that I found quite incredible - two days after being fed, a snake will use almost EIGHT TIMES as much oxygen as it did prior to feeding!
