I hope that Obama will fix this very soon.

P.S. this is an interesting time to reread the links from this post:

“To lower the probability of mutations that allow human-to-human transmission, you need to limit the host reservior, particularly with respect to hosts that are amenable to this kind of experimentation (The reviews mention pigs, because they can be a “mixing bowl” for avian and mammalian viruses, and immunocompromised humans*.)”

Can you imagine the frustration of a zombie trying to eat Rick Perry’s brains?

What most people don’t know is that swine flue laterally introduces genetic material into the human body that makes people taste like bacon.

….But I’d rather slander our idiot governor than even attempt to be fair…

Here’s a breaking news Flu Wiki, for those of us who’d like to follow this obsessively:

Thanks to Daily Kos for the link.

Such an odd number. Almost like it’s been calculated to be precisely enough for him, his family and friends, and his major donors.

I wore a rag on my face, lightly soaked in gasoline. I got some odd looks from the people shopping in the hazmat suits. I wonder how much those cost, and where I could get one?

Anyhow, I got my crackers and Coke. And plenty of coffee, so I’ll be stocked in hummers for years to come. Thanks, Ken!

And another couple of pounds of cheese, since it was still on sale. I like cheese.

I think I’m all set now for the end of civilization.

I hadn’t thought about the dividing by weight of organ, but it does make sense.

Of course, considering the hugeness of the organ and all, I have to go buy a lot more coffee now….

Rory has identified why several firms that outsourced jobs are bringing them back. It wasn’t just that the offshore workers didn’t know what they were doing.

“Four pounds of Folger’s coffee – Life isn’t worth living if I don’t get my coffee in the morning. Also, it’ll be worth its weight in hummers after the apocalypse.”

I long ago decided that if the best part of waking up was Folger’s in my cup that I would rather not wake up.

That said, are you taking four pounds of hummers at ca. 5cc per, or divided by the weight of the organ? (I assume you’re not talking about the vehicle-like carbon-sink.)

….Just trying to reassure everybody…

I sure hope this one doesn’t fizzle out. Like that Y2K thing, which was a massive disappointment.
