There was once an experiment done involving about 25 people(naked) who were strangers to each other before the experiment commenced, were confined for 2 hours in a space about the size of a squash court. One of these people had been contaminated with uv visible only fluorescent dye placed at the base of their spine,an area of dye no bigger than a 500 yen coin.After 2 hours confined together, without exception every one was now covered from head to foot with that dye. You may think you can avoid the virus but the practicalities of 'actualy avoiding' the virus render meaningful life impossible, you would have to avoid all other people and not touch any surface that any other human has touched for the viable life span of the virus.Btw going to a gym would not be one of the ways.

swine flu is not the only flu virus with the potential to mutate into something more harmful,the annual seasonal flu viruses can also manage this,sometimes they even manage to mutate into less harmful viruses but you never hear about them as they are less news worthy,mutations are random events with no direction. I suppose at least as a result of the news coverage people are slowly realizing the hidden killing capacity of traditional seasonal flu,horrifying ne and are starting to wash their hands and stop sneezing over everyone.

yes thats incredible but many things are, married men trying to score with cat walk models by pretending to be magazine editors is more incredible...but that happens too and is way more pathetic than men not being able to cook(i mean follow recipes)
Posted in: The cooking trend among young men probably started with 'Bistro SMAP.' Now, being able to cook is considered a plus when it comes to finding a wife.

err why would anyone want to eat pork? hmm well for one thing it is a leaner meat than beef and therefore healthier..secondly at the moment you can get some great deals on pork loin at the local supa..there is no risk of contracting flu from the meat just the live pig(if it has the virus)The pig should have gone the way of the dinos? why?..is it your religion that forms your opinion about the meat you eat for you?
