The two people in the UK who were hospitalised after returning from their honeymoon in Mexico have today been released from hospital, having made a complete recovery.

My sister told me this one:

After the pigs inherit the earth, what will they call the other white meat?

From all the reports this far, the flu - appears to be no more deadly than a 'normal' flu bug (yet).....

There are now cases of swine flu in Maryland. I think it's time we faced facts; this is the end of western civilization. I don't know about you, but I'm going to go get an early start on the looting.

Remember, everyone: it's pillage, then burn. If you burn first then there is less to pillage.

I'm gonna go get me a board with a nail to use as a club - strictly for protection, you know - and I'll meet you outside the jewelry store. Bring some bricks, please.

It's all a conspiracy, the pigs invented it to make people stop eating pork. It talks all abut it here.

Well, it's been downgraded form Swine Flu to H1N1 influenza. If there's not an animal attached, then it must not be improtant. At least that's the way it works in the llounge, right?

That's a nice comforting thought! Thanks!
