CygnusDarius: ihatedumbpeople: CygnusDarius: vylasaven: Isn't disease a mechanism by which most populations of animals (which is what we are) control their numbers by weeding out the weak and elderly? Should we just let this run its course and see who survives?

I'd like to get back to genetic basics. :P

Yeah, except this one has killed young & healthy.

/Yes, I'm scared shiatless

Young and healthy in Mexico, which is "barely alive" here. Notice no fatalities in the US.

Nice.

BTW, I happen to live in Mexico.

/Not in Mexico City, though
//Then I'd probably not leave my place
///And get the shotgun


Well, it was a half joke about the comment in the article (the "no deaths above the border have baffled scientists...")

Good luck down there...

You must be new here, the game has been brought up multiple times in this thread, yet you explain it like you're the first one to do it. Also, you said "fark meme" which is an instant fail. Most memes don't originate on fark.

Don't you find your bickering over memes, their origin, and who explained them first ridiculously childish? BECAUSE THE REST OF US DO.

I find that people that get mad over memes and them being discussed have much larger issues. I think it must have something to do with you guys being unpopular in high school, and never being part of an inside joke, so you hate all inside jokes.




Is it really an inside joke when like 90% of the population (or thousands of people) are privvy to the joke?

Also, am I the only one who is annoyed by the term "meme"? Every time I read it I get the feeling that somebody feels a lot smarter for having used the word.

Someone needs to post the animation with the two stick figures and one is supposed to be the President of Madagascar and he tells the other stick figure to shut down everything with a dramatic close up to his eye and then he shoots a laser out of his mouth.

Does anyone know what animation I'm talking about? It really does need to be posted.

Seeing as how "The Stand" is my favorite novel of all time, and I've read the 1200 page unabridged version 3 times...I get tired of the tired references.

"Hey baby can you dig your man"

"M-O-O-N spells MOON"

blah blah blah. How about something like

"I can't wait to bang an old chick and have her die in my tent"... or some reference to the KID sticking a .45 in Trashcan man's ass while he jerked it. No Harold and Nadine gags?

My bad... by 90%, I was referring to the people who get the joke, vs people who read the joke... As in the MAJORITY of people who read this thread, GET the joke... Only a couple do not. I was not referring to the global population.

And there is a difference between using words and trying to use big smart-sounding words (sometimes incorrectly).

I've always thought the 115 degree summer would take care of the smell right away, where as boulder you have that winter that will freeze everything for next year. Know what I'm saying?

verbal_jizm: hence the breathless waiting to see if H5N1 learned to spread from human to human.

Well, in the flu thread from last night (new window), someone had posted an email from the International Society for Infectious Diseases that indicated "at last 500 employees in the health sector in the Federal District have been infected with influenza virus..." If true, that would be some pretty strong evidence right here for human to human transmission.

It's a farking term. It's been around awhile... it's useful in describing the things we are talking about. Why should anyone give a shiat how you feel about other people using it?

UnkoPatrol: The cool thing about this one is that it's not 100% bird flu, it's not 100% swine flu, it's not 100% human flu, it's all THREE mixed together:

"The new virus has genes from North American swine influenza, avian influenza, human influenza and a form of swine influenza normally found in Asia and Europe" said Nancy Cox, chief of the CDC's Influenza

This virus knows how to mutate baby!


That's why it should be called the Devastator flu.
