POWERS

After yesterday's swine flu post, I was understandably excited by the headline on the Age site's front page today:

What new powers has the evolving Swine Flu granted to victims now?



(Also: I am very pleased that this picture is on a page called "All About Latvia." This is "Cūkmens" or "Pig Man". I think more nations should have national half-man/half-pig mascots.)

UPDATE: This is the sound of swine flu. Some dude took the genetic structure of the virus and translated it into ambient music. It's pretty depressing if you leave it playing while you do something else (work, minigolf, PAYG accounting, sitting in the corner of an unfurnished room trying to throw a chisel into a bucket in the opposite corner of the room).
