Popcorn and evolution

The mystery of unpopped popcorn has been solved! Thank christ. Because I'd hate to think research money was going to try to find the cure for, say, AIDS or cancer. Better, fluffier popcorn for all! ...oh, look, I can't stay mad at Science. After all, it's given us cool stuff like evolution, electricity and the ever-horrifying prospect of nuclear winter. Speaking of evolution, Scientific American ran a funny editorial about it on April Fool's day: "We had no business being persuaded by mountains of evidence."
