IMHO: I've had both, the corn in husks is highly variable (some good, some rotted/foul). The packaged corn, if not wrinkled, is always nice.

Ferrule is the general term, aglet is the specific term. All aglets are ferrules, but not all ferrules are aglets.

Loss is a thread that connects all of humanity; I will carry a small part of sorrow with you. I wish you well.

I'll bet the elephant one is just tied to the bottom of the box. :) It would be tough to fit an 18,000 lb / 8100 kg weight in that box.

I just watched it again this week, it is always entertaining. I'm just sad Alan Dean Foster didn't get any credit for ideas stolen from him.

Many world cup players have big careers to go back to, and risking injury for 3rd place was not compelling.

Imagine being a young grandkid at this house, hiding and playing in the hydrangeas. I'd stay tucked into the shade of those for hours... :)
