All the news that's fit ...

[ericcoleman]

I was in the drive through at the bank ... and like most banks now, they have a little screen that runs through adverts for stuff that the bank does, and news items and trivia. In this case it was the top three headlines according to whatever service they use. I don't remember specifically what 2 and 3 were, but they were fairly big news items.

It was #1 that got me.

Honey Appears To Help Coughs

I don't know which is the more stupid, that this was the top news item over other 2 big things or that someone JUST FIGURED THAT OUT.

I wonder how much the grant for that study was worth?

Sheesh, they could have asked my teetotaler Mother. She'd have pulled out the 30+ year old bottle of Jim Beam she keeps in the closet and mixed them a nice little spoonful of Mom's Cough Syrup (aka warm honey, whiskey and lemon juice). That would have proved it in about five seconds, and for free.
