A towboat is not called that because it tows anything, but pushes a set of barges. A set of barges lashed together is called a Tow.

Maize is not really corn.
Originally, the new crop discovered in the New World became known to European explorers as maize, based on the word ‘mahiz’ which indigenous people used to refer to the big green stalks they were cultivating. So Maize is the plant, not the fruit.

ingesting over 20 apple cores is known to cause instant death.
I'd suppose that is over 20 at a sitting. Not over a life time. |

The Elbe Lateral Canal (German: Elbe-Seitenkanal), which connects the Mittelland Canal (to be precise: near Wolfsburg) and the Elbe River (near Lüneburg southeast of Hamburg), was planned from 1965 and built from 1968 to 1976.
It runs in a north-south direction along the former inner German border, and from the onset was not only planned as a waterway, but also as a tank obstacle. Most of the ports are on the western bank, which also has some access roads and is relatively easily accessible, while the eastern bank has been deliberately built to be difficult to access with heavy vehicles. All bridges used to have a "Sprengschacht", a manhole/tunnel which allowed easy access to a point where explosives could be placed to destroy the bridges. Many bridges still have these tunnels. All underpasses were equipped with tank obstacles, which also haven't been completely deinstalled yet. |

Jupiter doesn’t have seasons because its axis is only tilted 3.13 degrees.

People that belong to the religions Hinduism or Buddhism believe that the common Cumulus cloud is the spiritual cousin of elephants.

People don't normally eat mustard.
Mustard is the plant. Prepared mustard is the food/condiment.
