On this date in 1849, Corn Laws were abolished in the United Kingdom. And then, as often happens, the corn went crazy. Running all over the place. Jumping up and down and shouting. Shouting. Always shouting. The keening wail of the corn ubiquitous across the UK. Still today, you can hear it. And old timers (REALLY OLD timers) still speak fondly of a time when there were laws against this sort of thing.

Here's where I normally tell you what actually happened, but I JUST DID. In the United Kingdom, corn is permitted to run wild and free. There's nothing else to find out. Move along.
