Some factual information.

I like the term pro-disease for people who lie about vaccines.

I find it funny that it just happens to be a container of swine flu virus that explodes or whatever in Switzerland at exactly the same time as people in the western hemisphere are having an outbreak. I'm sure the odds of it being the exact same virus getting leaked would be astronomically high, yet there it is. Sorry, I'm not buying it, something's fishy.

It's a good test to see how the public would react to such news. Hundreds die in Mexico... Now after the story becomes less acute it's now dropped to the 20's? Old dead fishy smell is what it is.

So, Swine Flu isn't Airborne, and less then 100 people in the world have it, and this is making the news AT ALL?

So basically, you have to touch an infected person to get it, and ther are only 6 cases in Canada, and everyone is going around wearing masks, etc? Are people really that paranoid? Really?

Well not exactly, when you sneeze or cough you put droplets into the air that could then land on something that someone else will touch and then rub their eye or whatever.

Just don't let someone sneeze in your mouth.

Every year, the news focuses on some kind of peril like this.
I'm going to really panic when sharks shoot SARS infected killer bees from their mouths.

I don't know which is worse - the suspicion that half of those wack fetishes are entirely false and made up by really sick people, or that they are real.

After all, there's allegedly people out there turned on by balloons. BALLOONS!!! How does that even happen?

As far as swine flu goes, I'm not going to obsess about it because it seems like a poor risk/reward type of worry. As long as I'm not seeing bodies in the street and black government vans full of guys in environment suits, I'd rather spend my valuable worrying time wondering if it's ever going to get warm enough to see women in short skirts again.

So, when you google image'd "chick with balloons" and found this one, did you notice the wolverine claw before you posted it?

I'm ashamed to say where I first looked for the wolverine claw after realizing I'd missed it.

If it helps, and it probably doesn't, I actually googled "Kari Byron", knowing this image would come up.

I figure the "could slash your throat out with her claws" aspect only adds to the "smoking hot redheaded nerd chick".

Oh, and she has balloons!
