I'm surprised there are no topics about this! So here I go:

It all started friday, when it was announced that classes were cancelled (I had an exam so I was naturally happy). For all of you who have been reading the news, basically a new sort of influenza virus appeared in Mexico, and it already spreaded in various parts of the world, including USA, England and New Zealand.

The virus is kinda different from other kinds of influenza, since it targets young healthy adults and is transmitted by... pigs.

So basically, I go out to the streets and everything is empty, and everyone is wearing weird masks. Seems kinda Apocalyptic actually!

Oh and today there was an earthquake in the morning, I didn't felt it at all but all of my friends did.

I'm surprised if there's anyone who hasn't heard of the influenza yet.

Yet another reason to kill and eat all the pigs


edit that reminds me there was a girl at my school who said she would "for sure" have sex with a pig for £600 and we were all like :fogetlaugh: let's get a fund together for that but actually let's not because what if she's not joking

Don't have a source, but apparently there are no confirmed pigs that actually have the disease to begin with. So killing them doesn't help at all right now.
Ock ock, Ack ack!
Beware of the cursed monkey spit!

Until it starts passing on from human to human more frequently we just have to stay on our toes, until then avoid pigs.
A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.
