I found it!!! After searching all over the web I found mythbustersresults.com. From all the way back in 2004, http://mythbustersresults.com/episode23:
" Talking helps plants grow.
PLAUSIBLE
Seven small greenhouses were set up on the M5 Industries roof. Four were set up with stereos playing endlessly looping recordings (as having the Mythbusters actually talk to the plants could contaminate the samples with their expelled carbon dioxide): Two of negative speech, two of positive speech (Kari and Scottie each made one positive and one negative soundtrack), a fifth with classical music and a sixth with intense death metal music. A seventh greenhouse, used as a control sample, had no stereo. The greenhouses with the recordings of speech grew better than the control, regardless of whether such talk was kind or angry. The plants in the greenhouse with the recording of classical music grew better, while the plants in the greenhouse with the recording of intense death metal grew best of all."
So there you have it - if plants are an indication of musical spirituality, we should all be listening to Christian Death Metal music!!!
Yeah - I knew - I was going to give up on the thread, but this one was so counter-intuitive, and after all the work I did hunting it down - I couldn't resist one final post on the matter --- now back into hibernation on this thread.
