The friggin' Black Plague. Craziness.

Better stay at home...

Prudence 04-19-2006 04:49 PM

Wow. She takes her episodes of House way too seriously.

Cadaverous Pallor 04-19-2006 05:58 PM

I just love that these days the BLACK DEATH is easily treatable.

I'm soooo glad I live now and not then.

An estimated 10 to 20 Americans contract plague each year, mostly in rural communities.
So, when I joke that "I Have PLAGUE" I may be correct?

People are usually surprised to learn that plague and anthrax still occur rarely in the United States.

But how would you like to be the lady's neighbors being told "oh, nothing to worry about. It isn't contagious."

I love the end of this article:

Health officials said they suspect the woman was exposed by fleas in her home and that there was no cause for alarm. [snip]

Bubonic plague is believed to have been the "Black Death" that killed 25 million people in Europe between 1346 and 1351.
Don't worry--it only killed 25 million people in a 5-year period.

Bring out your dead!



Oh come on - you knew it was coming.

Matterhorn Fan 04-19-2006 07:49 PM

Isn't it usually squirrells that end up as the carriers of Plague? I remember learning something about this in 7th grade before a Yosemite trip.

wendybeth 04-19-2006 07:54 PM

Rats, squirrels, ROUS's, etc.....

We have cats, including COUS's, so we're safe.

Not Afraid 04-19-2006 07:57 PM

ROUS's? COUS's?

Rabbits of Unsuspecting Sexualities?

Prudence 04-19-2006 08:02 PM


Matterhorn Fan 04-19-2006 08:03 PM

I don't think they exist.

Stan4dSteph 04-19-2006 08:34 PM

It's only a model.

wendybeth 04-19-2006 08:34 PM

COUS:


wendybeth 04-19-2006 08:37 PM

That cat makes Boris look anorexic.

Not Afraid 04-19-2006 09:00 PM

That cat makes Charles look tiny!

Morrigoon 04-19-2006 10:49 PM

I challenge Jim Davis himself to show me a cat that large.

blueerica 04-20-2006 09:51 AM

I like how the cat's tongue is sticking out

I could be wrong, but it looks like he's trying to wash himself. Bet that takes a while.......

lizziebith 04-20-2006 09:32 PM

And....now I'm thinking about the "I tried to give my cat a bath once, and the fur kept sticking to my tongue" joke. Coupled with THAT pic...dear Lord, the, ahem,:blush: kitty jokes that spring to mind!
