and to those of us outside the DRMA confines of GE-Comstar who sit and stare at a spinning blue void it is even less hilarious. We are like those in Code 46 who live outside, without papelles, unaware of your humour.

    Corn on the cob has emerged as the latest deadly threat to British troops engaged in foot patrols around the sweaty farmlands of the Helmand river valley.

    The towering maize plants that can grow to 2.5m (8ft) high have proved to be the perfect shield for insurgents to hide behind when they bury homemade bombs near Forward Operating Base Keenan.

They seem to have figured out a way to do that to the tune of nearly 200k confirmed kills a year. Someone needs to bring a few Brits to Pike County for field trip. They'll set 'em straight.
