Hmm.. that's too small to be my rod
An ear of corn is much better than a rod anyways. I mean, from a purely hypothetical stance, if, say, a bright green fennec buried your rod, it would probably just keep anything else from growing there. But that same fox could bury the corn and then a year or two later you've got life everywhere! Seeds have ssssooo much potential and an ear of corn has ssssooo many seeds, so it's way better than that hideous rod, which belongs in a hole in the ground anyways!
Um. I mean, hypothetically, of course. *nodnod*
