I didn't know it either until my friend said what did you think? You think there are little kids in China shucking baby corn with their little hands?
 
aznspeed, you're funny! Really! I bet they could use someone with your razor-sharp wit over at AOL!

Back on topic, baby corn most certainly IS corn. "Baby corn is produced from regular corn plants which are harvested early while the ears are very immature, resulting in small ears or 'baby corn' ". See this link

NO, the human head weighs and average of 7.5% of your body weight, or 12.4 pounds for a 165 pound person like myself. The average person would have to weigh 106 for it to be 8 pounds.
