I wish I could have liked this post twice, this made me laugh for a while. We recently studied Christopher Columbus and his writings in my English class so this definitely made my night.
In 1992 for AP American history had students research Columbus. At it was 500th at lot published that year. The point to was analyze Columbus as initiator of North and South American Indian cultures’ destruction or bringer of a new age of positive human growth. A good guy bad guy thing. I have read his log of the first voyage – certainly a man driven by his faith in God as the Director of his mission.

Just “corny”, I think….:-)
Of course, maybe if they’d simply sent out a canoe with a load of corn to send them on their way…………………

I wouldn’t worry too much about hiding the corn. It’s not made for human consumption. Animals do okay with it, on the other hand.
