Hope it's just the flu. The Marburg Virus begins with flu-like symptoms. (http://212.58.240.132/1/hi/health/medical_notes/4408289.stm)

25. Sometimes called

Russian Roulette, with three chambers loaded.

Then there's the timing method, where you only have sex at certain times during the woman's cycle. That's where you play Russian Roulette but only pull the trigger every third spin.

27. Too funny.

Hey, Brad went to my alma mater. And he's liberal.
Hope he gets better soon.
I like what Bill Maher had to say about the Brad/Angelina furor: hey, we've all been to high school. It was only a matter of time before the two best looking people ended up together.

[Roland99]

15. SARS? Bird Flu? Ebola?

26. "You know what's crazy? Germs!"

JEFFREY: You know what "crazy" is? "crazy" is "majority rules". Take germs for example.
COLE: Germs?!

JEFFREY: In the 18th century there was no such thing! Nobody'd ever imagined such a thing -- no sane person anyway. Along comes this doctor...Semmelweiss, I think. He tries to convince people... other doctors mostly...that there are these teeny tiny invisible "bad things" called germs that get into your body and make you...sick! He's trying to get doctors to wash their hands. What is this guy...crazy? Teeny tiny invisible whaddayou call 'em?..."germs"!

So cut to the 20th century! Last week in fact, right before I got dragged into this hellhole. I order a burger in this fast food joint. The waiter drops it on the floor. He picks it up, wipes it off, hands it to me...like it was all okay.

"What about the germs?" I say. He goes, "I don't believe in germs. Germs are just a plot they made up so they can sell you disinfectants and soap!"
