A friend of mine at work sent me this link that states that you can't swim in honey, and then provides an explanation as to why you can't. Since the physics stuff is over my head and my smarts are in another field, I don't know the soundness of the author's conclusion. I just thought this was an interesting topic. I know about the Mythbusters episode, but they were swimming in a syrup-like substance that didn't seem near as thick as honey. Any thoughts?

I just wasted an hour reading about all kinds of physics concepts that I have no business trying to understand. I am supposed to be writing software, not reading about the top 10 classic mistakes made in sci-fi movies, and more.
Thanks for sharing the link. Very interesting.
