Tony, that's what the Swine Flu is. It's a hybrid bird flu/pig flu/human flu. REALLY nasty, but not very efficient, so that's our good luck at this point.

The sad fact is that if this thing ends up with more mutation from interactions with human DNA, we're in deep, deep crap. Like under crap, breathing through a straw for dear life crap.

The origins of this new strain are unknown, and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) reports that this strain has not been isolated in swine.[3] It passes with apparent ease from human to human, an ability attributed to an as-yet unidentified mutation.[4] The strain in most cases causes only mild symptoms and the infected person makes a full recovery without requiring medical attention and without the use of antiviral medicines.[5]

I also read this in a Journal article.

No really it is....



Oh and for your information it's a Batman cape....

[Sweetcurse]

TNT, you have WAAAAAYYY to much time in your day. I want your job. Of course you wouldn't call a pig nd a bird the same thing if it wasn't true. You are such a nerd.

Ona, more of a dorky geek. Batman capes are sooooo last year.

[Sweetcurse]

Also, notice how he totally avoided the Juarez business. Hmmm...

Que? Usted es demasiado sospechoso, jefe!
على الأقل لم أكن في هذا النوع العربية!

Edna: It will be bold! Dramatic!
Bob: Yeah!
Edna: Heroic!
Bob: Yeah. Something classic, like, like Dynaguy. Oh, he had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots...
Edna: [throws a wadded ball of paper at Bob's head] No capes!
Bob: Isn't that my decision?
Edna: Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids.
Bob: Listen, E...
Edna: November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin!
Bob: Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb...
Edna: Stratogale! April 23rd, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!
Bob: E, you can't generalize about these things...
Edna: Metaman, express elevator! Dynaguy, snagged on takeoff! Splashdown, sucked into a vortex!
[shouts]
Edna: No capes!

Joke alert:

Ya know, they said Pigs would Fly before a black man became President. Now, 100 days into his term... SWINE FLU! [read: 'Flew' for you slow types].

Thanks for the tally, Roland, and thanks to everyone else for the humor.

I was thinking: thousands of people die from the flu every year, and it hits just about every country. Isn't that a pandemic?

[Sweetcurse]

Yeah, and I still don't hear an explanation for this secretive Juarez trip...

[Roland]

Typically though the flu is not as mutated as it is now where its transmitted between multiple species.

That alone makes it stand out to the CDC, and WHO.
