OK, this is weird but interesting.
QuoteThe patient closed his or her eyes and mouth and blocked one nostril. The clinician opened the peanut butter container and held the ruler next to the open nostril while the patient breathed normally. The clinician then moved the peanut butter up the ruler one centimeter at a time during the patient's exhale until the person could detect an odor.
The distance was recorded and the procedure repeated on the other nostril after a 90-second delay.
The clinicians running the test did not know the patients' diagnoses, which were not usually confirmed until weeks after the initial clinical testing.
Patients in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease had a dramatic difference in detecting odor between the left and right nostril—the left nostril was impaired and did not detect the smell until it was an average of 10 centimeters closer to the nose than the right nostril had made the detection in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

Huh. Well if it works, why not?
Cheap and fast and good, too. What's not to love?
No bread and jam?
is peanut butter covered under obamacare?
It is but you have to pay 10,000 dollars for it. If you refuse then you can either pay a penalty of 100,000 dollars or go to jail.

I'm mostly a strawberry guy myself, although I like raspberry and grape as well.

Yum!
I'll leave 'em all to you Bawb. :) I don't know what it is about blackberries, but they're one of the few berries I've just never cared for (including anything blackberry-flavored).
I'll take that blackberry jam.
What were we talking about?
Mirth's girlfriend. But don't let Mirth know.
