QuoteTwenty times a day, U.S. pilots report that birds have hit their airplanes, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.


Why does everyone persist in describing it this way.  For farg sake, the plane is doing the hitting, the birds are getting hit.

Dude, the "swine disease" garbage is no joke.  Where do you think the flu epidemic from the 1918 came from?  Jump to human from birds.  And that one killed 20-100 million people.  Jumps like this can be very, very bad.

I've always been amused by the transparency of local newscasts.

From the over-done snow coverage to the over-done heavy rain coverage here. It's Philly, it snows. It's Houston, it rains...deal with it.

Last night they had on some story about the codes teens use to text each other. I mean, seriously...come on.

Yeah, yeah, the bird flu was overdone.  But one of these pandemics will happen again, and hiding in your basement won't help.

The human race is due a good culling anyway.

I predict when the culling comes, Ghoulpool will set a new high on points scored.
