    If the US had gotten intel from UK on French citizens, scandal would ensue if the frenchies found out. UK would not be happy to have incident repeated, thus would not share as much intel.

  25. Great story from Danish medschool on Hobbit Hole + World Class Fallout Shelter · · Score: 1

    One of my friends is a med student, and at one time they had an experiment wherein they made some antibiotica-resistant germs, can't remember which sort, though (it was a fairly common disease, flu or influenza or whatever).

    Their text book was very specific on the needed security during this experiment, how everything should be sterilized and how careful you had to be, because this could cause an epidemic.

    The experiment ended, and people went home.

    Then, two weeks later, two of her classmates (from Sweden, go figure) turned out to have not only *not* destroyed the bacteria, but they were *carrying them in their bags* in the small round glass containers!

    My friend (and several other co-students) tried for several minutes to convince these two Swedish girls that they should be very careful, and that they should destroy the bacteria, referring to the book wherein a page had been dedicated to warnings.
    "Nähä, they're harmless!"

    Stupid Swedes.

    They did eventually destroy them, luckily...
