  • A Frankenstein Flu Made In A Lab!

  • okay so in order for the swine flu too come about human pig and bird viruses but how the hell did all those mix i mean it would seem reasonable for human and pigs too mix accidently but bird :S.

    has any news stories gone into how this swine flu actually got out

  • Quadruple border patrol and give them 50 caliber sniper rifles. Problem solved.

  • Fuck PETA.

  • Nice pun....pork industry...hog wild. it was funny.

  • i'm not a scientist but i'd like to have more information about what you are saying,

    do you have any links i can check.

  • Are people really that dumb? that they confuse the scientific name with the generic name? come the fuck on! That is dangerous stupidity....read...get an education...

  • The pork industry is going hog wild over this name. H1N1 should be the name we call it, sounds like a terminator.

  • sarcasm eh?

  • Its kind of strange it has 2 avian polymerase strands... still no one even mentions the very real possibility this mutating virus is infecting birds... we could name it the " no one mention its getting the birds sick too flu".
