you know wayne, most of us would probably have had alot less problems in life if we would have just listened to our moms more. and yet at 45 i'm still uncomfortable admitting that. 😉

You know, they did that on an episode of MythBusters. I've noticed a trend building of researchinbg spending lots of time and money only to find themselves verifying what MythBusters has already discovered. That show is like the scientific method at its bare-bones and most effective.

By the way, I deleted a spam comment yesterday! I am so excited, and proud of myself!!! :cheese:

good job sweetie!!
murph, pulling the band-aid off quickly is less painful according to the study.

Wait, our government gives grants to people who want to study whether or not alcohol has an affect on people's ability to make coherent decisions... and you're surprised about a Band-Aid study? This is our tax dollars at work. Or, in this case, Australian tax dollars at work.
