I was kidding about taking it personally. It’s one of those factoids that’s like a tune you can’t get out of your head. I had Heart’s “All I Wanna Do...” stuck in my head for 2 weeks straight in June. I may even have picked up that little bug on this thread.

I like the song and love Ann Wilson’s voice so that could have been worse.
BTW, your diversion worked. I haven’t thought of that plastic critter all day. I’m going to assume you’re 100% right about the even rows of corn and try not to count them.
Glad to help.
