Whats the difference between Pastrami and Corned Beef?

Being that it is St. Pattys day, i have met afew people with this question....
I actually know the answer!
They are very similar in fact! They both start out pickled in brine.Pastrami is smoked unlike corned beef which is boiled. Then Pastrami is usually, or often encrusted with peppercorns. Pastrami comes from the word preservation. The CORN in corned beef refers to coarse grains, "corns" of salt.
