I don't know how that lightning got there.
". . .that people will accept risks 1,000 greater if they are voluntary (e.g. driving a car) than if they are involuntary (e.g. a nuclear disaster)."
So far, the likelihood of you or I getting this is about equal to being hit by lightning (not that shown, of course).
BTW, I used to have hair like in the photo, but not quite that long.
Regarding Mr. Hodgkins, I've heard that you are supposed to hate and confront him, every single day. You're probably already doing that.
A course on actual vs. perceived risk.

I suspect about 30,000 of them went down drains. Maybe this is a complaint for the plumbing section.

We're at level four guys.
Phase 1: No viruses circulating among animals causing infections in plumbers
Phase 2: Animal influenza virus causes infection in plumbers, and is considered potential pandemic threat
Phase 3: Influenza causes sporadic cases in plumbers, but no significant electrician-to-remodeler transmission
Phase 4: Verified plumber-to-electrician transmission able to cause forum-level outbreaks. Significant increase in risk of a pandemic
Phase 5: Plumber-to-remodeler transmission in at least two sections of the forum. Strong signal pandemic imminent
Phase 6: Virus spreads to another forum. Global pandemic under way

They are all leaving Mexico and heading north...this traveling group just went by my house....
I got my B B gun out. What a shame too, they are so cute. I'll protect you Cass.
With your particular immune system, your conditional probability
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_probability
for having problems with this latest public health problem is higher than for other people.
In the link, B is the state of your immune system and A is the likelihood of having a problem with this latest set of bugs.
I guess for peace of mind you should buy the masks. . .? And the certificates on my wall have, so far, prevented walrus attacks.

We're in Phase 5.
Still, let's not worry too much. Any well-stocked bar should be able to combat a flu. I normally start with two glasses of red and if that does not make me feel better I bring out the big guns...a single malt.

I've heard you don't catch it from pigs.
Eypt killed their pigs, even though there were no cases of the flu there.
And no way to catch it from a pig.
