hi-fives all around for this stunning news report that serves as an example of courage & excellence in journalism. okay, i’m lying about that. but since all galactic failures serve some purpose, my guess is that the next time a bug flies into your mouth while you are trying to do a news report, maybe you should just eat the bug, no? i’ll let you decide (PS - turn up the volume so your co-wrokers can hear all the swearing and ghetto-ness). oh, and while we are talking about celebrating news reporters, lest we forget the mighty cocaine weatherman? i think not.

Planet of the Apes Bird Flu Theory so the recent developements with ye old timey avain bird flu - where the H5N1 deadly disease strain has been passed to a cat and now a weasel (technically a stone martin) - have been reminding me about the story premise for the movie Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. yes. in the movie, a terrible disease has killed off the world’s cats and dogs, leaving humans with no animals to keep as pets, except monkeys and apes. in reality, birds and now cats and ferrets/weasels are all capable of carrying the deadly bird flu strain. so what i’m saying is the basic setup for eventual ape domination is beginning now. just thought i’d mention it here first. this sci-fi moment has been brought to you by nothing-to-blog-about.biz.
