#1 WHO was once, at least I think it was, a shining example of what a world org could accomplish - if everyone acted realtively sane and left their dipshit political agendas at home.

UN *spit*

#2 FoxNews just announced that there is an Ebola outbreak reported in Congo. Whomever sees a news story with a link should post it.

#7 Frank, No need to go SE Asia. There is a flu strain killing dogs in the USA. It appears to have jumped from horses to dogs. Flu is good at jumping species.
