This new book from Peter Reid and Tim Goddard.  I saw it on Live Science.  If you want to take a look at the constructions – inspired by reality and fantasy – without all of the ads, click on the Amazon Look Inside site.  I think the Martian rover really is made out of Lego.

Corn is able to pop becauseits kernels have a hard moisture-sealed hull and a dense starchy interior. Pressure builds inside the kernel, and a small explosion (or “pop”) is the end result. Some strains of corn are now cultivated specifically as popping corns.

The Muppets explain it like this:
