A Look Into The Future: Part 1.

Did you know that some of our most famous Americans were born in Iowa? People like Herbert Hoover and Mamie Eisenhower. And John Wayne, and Ashton Kutcher, and Elijah Wood. It makes sense; all of these people were/are about as exciting as an ear of corn.

Speaking of corn, Iowa loves it. In 2007, 2.5 billion bushels were harvested from 13.9 million acres. Of course, most of Iowa's crop goes into animal feed, so you can imagine how many kernels are currently stuck in the teeth of some very frustrated cows.

Speaking of cows, Iowa's obesity rate is at 26%.

Speaking of 26, there are way more than 26 registered sex offenders living within 3 miles of Des Moines, Iowa's city limits. I wonder if Sesame Street gets huge ratings here...
