That well-respected bastion of urban legend de-bunk-ation, snopes.com, has a surprising number of reports of the magic power of pennies. Can rubbing a penny on a bee sting ease the pain? (No.) Can a penny remove a wart? (No.) Will sucking on a penny defeat a breathalyzer test? (No and this is just crazy.) However, one folk cure was proven here a couple of years ago in a now-famous un-blind experiment. One of our own librarians was relieved of her warts by the constant and rigorous application of duct tape to the afflicted areas. We were convinced, and should any others at the Mudd ever develop warts, we’ll jump onto the duct tape bandwagon, which would be an excellent name for a rock group. Our new motto: The Mudd – Now Wart Free.
