Glad to know someone else from my internet literacy class stumbled across this as well. Same here. I am sorry that we have interrupted your discussion with this nonsense. It's a required assignment we have to do. Please accept my appolgy. For future reference there is an alt.test newsgroup where these posts would be better aimed. AND along with internet literacy should be taught Usenet etiquette. Finally you should also be taught to "munge" your email addresses to avoid the plethora of spam available on the net. Mike Get a life, and if you can't do that, learn how to use the BLOCK SENDER option on your computer. If you can't do that, toss your computer in the garbage, you're too stupid to own one. Dear Whatever: I notice you have taken to task a writer about whether or not a post is on topic, is spelled correctly, or is correct in some other minute detail. I would like to inform you that the post of Netnanny is already filled. It is held by Newton Fillmore, of Pacoima, California, although Mr. Fillmore is currently in a coma in a facility in Riverside, and has been for three years, eight months now. We just could not bring ourselves to demote him without a proper hearing and him being present. Please be advised that there are currently over 500 applicants and wannabes for the position. That does not include people like yourself who have broken with protocol and currently act like they are in the cherished position. If and when and if ever the post becomes available, you will be required to write an essay of no longer than 1500 words, single spaced, using the words there, they're, their, your, you're, and any others you can come up with in as many incorrect grammatical situations as possible. You must also describe the difference between "lose" and "loose" in 25 words or less. You must also include the reason that you think entitles you the lifelong right to hold this post, and review the rest of humanity on its daily heretofore unobserved unsupervised act of Usenet Posting.

Well I thought I was going to learn something about Corn silk, but still this was an amusing thread. I googled it anyways and realised that this relates to sweetcorn. Turns out that corn silk are "Stigmas from female maize flowers", I'm none the wiser

Does anyone here eat corn silk? I love it. It is so sweet. I like it better than alfalfa, and if you're going to toss it, keep me a nice serving. I never toss the corn silk. My pet rabbit loves it, along with the inner husks. Abd the cats love the juicy cobs with a few odd kernels left on. |

I never toss the corn silk. My pet rabbit loves it, along with the inner husks. Abd the cats love the juicy cobs with a few odd kernels left on. I just love the sweet taste of it as a garni on a salad. It has a much sweeter taste than alfalfa sprouts. We were cleaning some Utah sweet corn (MMMMM sweet), and a friend of mine handed me a tangle of corn silk. I had never ever thought of tasting it, but I tried it. I don't know if it was the sweet Utah corn, or if it is all like that, but it was just like sugar. We get some very very sweet corn here in Utah, and at the end of the season, when it's plentiful, we can get it for 8 ears for $1. I can make a meal of corn, with just some butter and Tony's seasoning. And then alternate ears with California ground garlic and parsley. But since you only RENT corn and beer, it doesn't stay with you for long. ;-) And golly by gee, I hope this is in line and on topic with discussing gardens and edible things from the garden. Steve |

Corn silk is a collection of the stigmas form of the female flowers of corn, and they are four to eight inches long with a faintly sweetish taste.

Carpets are definitely a personal choice, so rather than advocating any one thing - let me just tell you what I did. The corn silk carpeting gets dirty just looking at it. I too wanted a solution other than constant shampooing. I found a set of 4 Lloyd VelourTex carpets custom sized for the 2011 Touareg in a dark brown that almost exactly matched the dash and door trim. They offer a cargo area mat too, but I went with the gray VW CarGo mat back there. Anyway the VelourTex are the same nap height too, which lessens the risk of catching them with my shoes upon entry (the next grade of Lloyd is twice as thick). These attach to the factory floor snaps, and even cover more area than the OE carpets. Which is good, because under the cornsilk floormats, there's just more cornsilk carpeting. I pulled out my OE mats and put them in storage. I'll use the Lloyd mats until it's time to trade, then put the as new OE mats back in.
