Nonscientific internet information....alert!alert!alert!
So,I did a little home experiment based on something I read in one of those "home remedies"(for people to poor or cheap to shell out for perscription or over the counter crap).I had several cuts on my hand from work related"get down,bad dog,bad dog" situations.(Just kidding,I never shame the dogs).Soooo,the suggestion was to clean the wound and put on a dap of honey instead of one of the antibacterial goos.I left it one one cut for 3 days and it is almost healed.The two cuts that received no "treatment or bandaid" are only a bit "healed".Test result...honey and bandaid caused 80%(OK,I just pulled that number out of the air)faster healing......If you buy honey from your local area it is also suposed to lessen allergic reactions to local plants.(The body gets "use" to the pollen particles in the honey and doesnt create the antihesitmines...plus it's good on buttered toast.)

Now normaly (normaly?) Steven is dead on for all the information that is fit to print. However

After exhaustive research, which I did while in that semi unconcious state I like to call sleep, I reached the profound conclusion it is NOT 42.7%. I am rather timid to anounce the number, so I won't. I won't because bears would starve in the woods from lack of honey and butter toasts all over the world would have to hide in closets. The goo's wouldn't mind and niether would the muffins (evul kind), but that's just how they are.
My dear Krex,

let us not be hiding what you're really up to. Hiding under the guise of "Nonscientific internet information" and "home experiment based on something" just doesn't cut it. Let us stop calling aligators.... felinoid carnivore, tigers, Kzin and other pinched candys. What we have here is, research. As Steven is correct 72.4% of the time, I will leave you with this mixed message. "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." So who's candy have you really been pinching? I notice my lifes box of assorted chocholates has more then a few that have been researched. You can have the have the ones that proved to be filled with medicinal marijuana. Just don't you be touchin my bon-bons.
