First the bad news- We feel the term "Swine Flu" has an unfortunate ring to it.

The good news is we have come up with a much more poetic term, or terms as it were, for the pandemic- "Aporkalypse" "Epigdemic," "Hogsteria," "Armhogeddon," "Cochonrantine" and "Pigpendemic" are nice but I think "Swine-11" is the best so far... "World boar III" sounds a bit like an aristocratic English title. Peerage, hrumph.

I do however forsee the demise of "Pig-tails" as being an acceptable hair style as well as a decline in the number of Wendy's Bacon Cheeseburgers sold.

Also good news is the fact that I have successfully completed a new years resolution of mine:
