Pansies. It gives bacon that extra tangy zip we all love so much!

Pigs, of course, would prefer to have their Ebola without farmers.

What do they mean "have" pigs?

FTA: "The development is worrying because pigs are mixing vessels in which other viruses from humans and animals exchange genetic material, possibly creating strains that are more lethal or more infectious."

So apart from yummy bacon, pigs actually serve a biowarfare function in nature? Who would have guessed? I thought it was ducks that spread all those deadly strains of flu and plague from China.

But when the ebola pigs die of explosive hemorrhage, wouldn't the pork then be the perfect size and shape for a really tender shredded pork sandwich?

I'd prefer to have three different ones.

Man, I remember the 70s when it was swine flu this and swine flu that.

Sounds like a good diet program.

Eat a pork chop then watch as your body liquifies those pesky pounds away.

We are very lucky this version doesn't harm humans. Otherwise I don't think even Madagascar would be safe.

It's hit the US once. 100% lethality and airborne--fortunately, it only killed monkeys.

yea, Ebola Reston is back in the news!

/went to daycare there, post monkeys/ebola

I heard of the U.S. Ebola Reston incident when I was in the AF, as it was happening. It wasn't kept as quiet as they thought. The thought of an hemorrhagic pathogen getting out widespread in the United States just scares the crap out of me.
