Obviously, it will probably not kill us all, but what is known about it is still pretty worrying. Let's hope for the best. I'm not in panic (yet :D), but this could become more serious. Then again, thats what they said about all the other flus. Your thoughts? Last edited by Error014; 04/26/09 12:28. Perhaps this post will get me points for originality at least. Check out Dungeon Deities! It's amazing and will make you happy, successful and almost certainly more attractive! It might be true!

Managed to be excluded by most mass media though... Enjoy your meal Toast

Well in germany you learn that billion is the word for million because the theachers allways say "you dont say million you say billion" maybe that's because of the german word "Million" and they think it sounds too german^^ Visit: schwenkschuster-design.de

Quote: experts point out, the pandemic Spanish flu infected at least 500 million of the world�s 1.5 billion people, killing 50 million. Many of those lives would have been saved if anti-flu drugs, antibiotics and mechanical ventilators had existed. We have enough medical knowledge to fight this disease for sure, unless it happens to become immune of all the drugs, but I doubt that. Click and join the 3dgs irc community! Room: #3dgs
