Germs, Germs, Germs

Other news today from the world of germs, in Iraq and China (Hat Tips: M. Simon):

Allied forces have captured Amir Rashid Muhammad al-Ubaydi, whose nickname was "Missile Man". He was the Six of Spades. His wife is the infamous Dr. Rihab Taha, a microbiologist known as "Dr. Germ" who was in charge of the secret Iraqi facility that weaponized anthrax, botulinum toxin and aflotoxin. "Missile Man" helped develop the delivery systems. Really, the joke opportunities here are just too easy.

China is taking serious steps now with SARS, putting hospitals and even Beijing itself under partial or full quarrantine. Following recent directives to the Army, they've also been forced to deny that martial law is imminent. Whether the denial turns out to be true probably depends on the information that comes in to them over the next few days.

If you want an excellent front-line blogger view of the developing SARS situation in China, Peking Duck is on location and has lots of good stuff. (Hat Tip: NoCreativeTitleYet)

So, why Toronto as the North American SARS hotspot?

Now, if you'll excuse her, Ms. Carlsson needs to see her doctor for a final checkup after that sex change operation, and then service her skinhead boyfriend.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
