    If the earth whistles and no aliens are around to hear it, does it make a sound?

    Does the book cover say "How to Cook Humans" or "How to Cook For Forty Humans"? (Thank you 'Treehouse of Horror')

    > I think it is worth about 20K of salary in most people's comparisons.

    If I drank 20K worth of beer at work per year, I'd be too drunk to hack the network!

    "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
    I think so, Brain, but then my name would be Thumby.

    Or what about the use of jeans in general?

  5. Re:Over-stating the case on Indian Scientists Develop Vaccine for Bird Flu · · Score: 1
    Developing a vaccine for this threat requires knowing what the threat is, and as yet, there have been no confirmed cases of human-human transmission.
    Actually, there is a documented case of human-human transmission: Bird Flu Passed From Son to Father, W.H.O. Says Latest NY Times article...June 23, 2006 An Indonesian man who died of H5N1 bird flu caught it from his 10-year-old son, the first laboratory-confirmed case of human-to-human transmission of the disease, according to a World Health Organization investigation of an unusual family cluster of bird-flu cases. The investigators also found that the virus mutated slightly when the son had the disease, although not in any way that would allow it to pass more readily among people. Flu viruses like H5N1 mutate constantly, although most of the mutations are insignificant biologically; that appears to be have been the case in the Indonesian cluster.
