How has the internet saved YOU?, For times when you didn't know what to do, you turned to the inter Options

Yesterday evening, I was preparing dinner which included some variety of hot pepper. Thinking nothing of it, I cut the peppers with my bare hands; minced finely and put into the dish we were having.

12 hours later, I woke up fine as you please and took a shower to start the day. Some time after that, my hands began to burn very painfully. Moving the fingers would provide a little relief, and soaking them in water also provided some temporary relief, but within a minute of removing them the temperature would go right back up.

Not knowing what to do, I turned to the internet and found one of those web forums only old people use (you know the ones), where the topic was hot pepper burns. I read the entire thing, and tried some of the suggestions but one in particular stood out more than the others despite being recommended by one person, and not responded to; hot water. While everyone suggested milk-based mucous substances (like yogurt, and sour cream) this one suggested placing your hands under as hot a water as you can endure, the idea to let the pores on your skin open wide to allow the chemical causing the burns to escape. After 3 very hot sets of water soaking, the pain is almost entirely gone.

This is not the first time where I've been so stumped I didn't know what to do, and the internet helped me out. What other saves have the net provided you?

I don't have any stories about a burn but I had one about a Cut a bad one too. Welll I don't remeber how it happened but my arm had a very long cut on it. and long thin slice it seemed. It was too long for bands we didn't have enough medical gauze or type then My long lost sister showed up with her Netbook looked it up like BAM and said "Get the Super Glue!" then she put that on it and it sealed the cut it was beginning to bleed. It suck waiting fir the glue to peal off though.
