a) Panzer and Thraxl, both being located in the US according to their profile claimed a black man has been elected president. This is quite common in many countries - man of those located in Africa. This has not happened in many countries, thus it is just not true. The only country where it has happened and caused some attention was the US. Thus, if the Us was not mistaken as "the world", how comes this disease isn't limited to the US???
BTW, did I tell you I listened to some "world premiere" of a song in Seattle some years ago? That song was old in Germany before I went to the US. So much for the picture of the universe as it is at yours.

b) 7000 cases worldwide - I'm still laughing at this pandemic. Valium prevents traffic accidents - sleeping people don't drive (usually). How is a "swine flu" harder to be detected than average flu, when the symptoms are quite alike?

Thrax - that post was really nice and wonderful. I don't think it sounded silly at all. Very natural and truely AMERICAN (<-- see, capital letters). I just have to agree with Shevar - I also don't really care about a and b.

But, could you please take care about c)?

Please?
