This is the Super Happy Scientific Method Show, with your host, Locutus of Bourges. Watch in awe and entertainment as he acts vaguely stupid in the name of science...!
I woke up with a little pimple on my forehead yesterday morning. (I named it Barnaby.) So anyway I waited patiently until it got big enough, and then I popped it. I love popping zits. It's oddly satisfying to see the yellow stuff inside. But afterward, it just oozed for a while. So I got an idea:
Salt dehydrates things like beef strips and Egyptian kings, so if I rubbed salt into my pimple, it would dry up faster. So I got some grains of table salt and shoved them into the little volcanic crater of my zit. For science.
Results were inconclusive. First, it hurt like your mother. A few minutes later, the zit miraculously stopped spewing pus. But that's mostly due to the little scab of congealed pus and dissolved salt that formed over it. I believe that the lack of data is mostly the result of my not having a control zit for comparison.
If anyone knows a way to cultivate two zits of the same size at the same time, let me know. For science.
