This is all great, but the lack of FEAR and TERROR in the article doesn't help them sell more Tamiflu does it!

Nice to see some sensible perspective. 6 cases where I live. All from being in Mexico. All mild and recovered.

Media must be just waiting for things to turn nasty. As must the governments as a fearful people are a malleable people.

"What do you do?"
"I butle, sir."

Line slays me every time.

The endings are irrelevant really, and you could easily have avoided them as it made it clear in the article they were there. DUH! Your fault you read them.

Funny as hell movie. Hopefully if they're doing a remake, the original will get a better DVD release as it's fairly crap.

Several notable idiots, in particular Kevin Smith, hate the film. Which is a big part of why I'm going off old Silent Bob. (That and his increasingly "phone it in" level of commitment to things.)

Twitter CAN be inane, but it all depends on who you follow. The folk I follow are either news outlets, or very interesting people who make me laugh, are smart, and share similar tastes to me. Courtesy of Twitter and the people I follow I've found quite a few new bands I'd never have heard, books I've not heard of etc...

Like any service, you get back what you put in. Post inane bollocks, you'll only see inane bollocks as the inane people will gravitate toward you.

For the record I do not have a Facebook, Myspace or any other services like that. Tried Twitter for a laugh when the Appstore debuted, figured I'd never stick around, but found it interesting.

I would hope those decrying Twitter have tried it before condemning it, but I highly doubt most of you have.

gray dave: They are? Could have fooled me with the prices I pay here!

OH NOES! THE TUNA WILL BE GONE!

The WWF are pathetic. Earth Hour is a pitiful, meaningless "LOOK AT ME CARE" stunt that achieves nothing. I believe the exact impact I saw was something like taking 3 cars off the road for a year. That's worldwide. And don't give me this "awareness" nonsense. Who isn't already aware? It's just a pointless PR stunt to make people feel good that ultimately does nothing.

As is this nonsense. (And I say this as someone who LOVES tuna.)

Guarantee I'll still be eating tuna sandwiches in 2013.

eheheh Nipples...

Why exempt the c-section people? If anything their mothers suffered more than the vaginal birth ones.

Screw that. I like my elephant steaks!

What a rubbish ad. "If they wanted too, they'd come."

What a crock. When was the last time you met an elephant with a passport? I mean for starters they can't fit into those little photo booths, and then they have to find a notable member of the community to validate the photo for them and sign it, and elephants have a hellish time using pens.

The only reason they're not here is bloody bureaucracy. Let's see these charity groups start with the REAL issue. Elephants getting passports!

I know a few parents who have done this very successfully. Generally after the "training" it's 2-3 days of accidents and that's it. Given we're potty training one of ours right now, I think of the fortune we'd have saved on diapers if we'd done this.

"Normally, you’d fight fire with water"

Depends on the type of fire actually. In many cases water will make it worse/more dangerous. (Electrical, gasoline etc...)

LOOK! It's a vulva!

Couldn't finish it due to the smug ass attitude.

Scuppy: My kids have stayed up until 1am in the past. Oh, punish me now big boy. Screw you. Just because some folk parent and don't subscribe to the norm, that makes them freaks, right? Yes, heaven forbid not wanting kids running around at 7am. So long as the kids get the sleep they need, what bloody difference does it make?

I have 3 kids. I don't go to the movies. I don't go to restaurants. I don't fly. Sure, that makes me sound like a good parent, but the fact is I never did the latter two when I wasn't a parent.

Scuppy, you're a douche BTW.
