More on Goats (Because They're Fun)

While at the pumpkin patch, the owner showed us probably the coolest invention since before the refrigerator. This crazy old machine is a classic product of technology developed for the need of efficiency. You take a piece of corn and stick it in the opening and then simply turn the handle and the corn spins down the ridged metal pieces around it that in turn pull off the corn kernels. So at the end you have a whole bunch of kernels in the bottom of your box ready to feed to the chickens or goats, etc. and a blank cob to use for whatever you heart desires. The owner said she usually uses them in starting fires, which seems like a pretty smart idea to me. The point though, is that technology is so awesome because it takes a problem, whether it be something damaging or something tedious, etc. and comes up with a solution for it. Can't get any better than that.

Here you can see the kernels flying off the cob.

This really tickled my hand a lot! :]
