I am Amused... are you?

I found this little gem when checking my email;

Look at that picture, then visit these sites...

Now I don't believe much of any of it since nobody has near the same numbers... but it is somewhat amusing.

Well, 6 million people huh? That should help with the population explosion, eh?

Someone obviously had a few too many martinis at lunch before they did the news today.

*rotfl* My pharmacist/boss was just talking about the swine flu today; back when he was in pharmacy school, a similar "OMG WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE OF THE FLUUUUUUUUE!!1!!!11!1!!?!!1!!" panic hit the U.S. and every college student was required to get the brand new, hardly tested vaccine against it. But, funny enough, even among the people *not* vaccinated against it, there were fewer than a couple of thousand deaths... right on par with how many of the sick, weak, elderly, or very young that die of the flu yearly anyway.

Seriously, people, just *wash your friggin' hands*, and take some time to relax! Stressing over what disease you're going to get next is more likely to make you sick than whatever super germ some bored news reporter tries to make you think is going to take over the world.
