- that is never going to catch on cause Swine Flu is catchier. - Epiphany Apr 28, 11:33
- Officially? The testimony I heard on CSPAN in the last hour was "we call it swine because it's got swine DNA and swine flus rarely jump to humans" - Max Apr 28, 11:27 17
  - So "when pigs fly" might be appropriate here. -- nm - Dano Apr 28, 11:29
  - bullshit, sure they do. -- nm - loosilu Apr 28, 11:28 15
    - so this is *a* swine flue, not *the* swine flu? -- nm - mary land loves mandy lane Apr 28, 11:31 14
      - well, I agree that it's silly to call it swine flu when it is made up of three flus. But there are many, many swine flus. -- nm - loosilu Apr 28, 11:33

        You people are making me crave club sandwich -- nm - con_carne Apr 28, 11:34 5
        
        like with thick peppered bacon and whole wheat bread? smoked turkey - Epiphany Apr 28, 11:34 4
        
        we need to invent a "cheese flu." -- nm - mary land loves mandy lane Apr 28, 11:44
        
        I think it's one of the few sammiches that needs no cheese. That said, swiss. (I am hungry) -- nm - con_carne Apr 28, 11:40
        
        more interesting is:what will be the human factor in the sandwich? - Danedukenuuk Apr 28, 11:37
        
        speaking of bacon, see my linky above. -- nm - loosilu Apr 28, 11:37
        
        Yes. Two human, one swine, one avian. -- nm - loosilu Apr 28, 11:33 5
        
        i thought it was 2 swine, 1 human, and 1 avian -- nm - zork Apr 28, 11:41 4
        
        I think you're right. -- nm - loosilu Apr 28, 11:45
        
        Even if you're right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not "one plus two plus one plus one." -- nm - Wadsworth Apr 28, 11:43 1
        
        I *love* you sometimes. -- nm - mary land loves mandy lane Apr 28, 11:45
        
        Loosi is always right. - con_carne Apr 28, 11:42
- more importantly ... no swine have been found that are sick. -- nm - loosilu Apr 28, 11:25
