Figured I would save you guys some clicks and Discovery ad-revenue. Sorry if there are any misspellings but my reply box is having an epileptic fit. DIGG, FIX THIS - crash331, on 05/24/2008, -0/+41***** thing sucks. People need to learn how to use flash properly.
- MasterThief117, on 05/24/2008, -0/+25For such an awesome TV network, they sure make ***** website interfaces.
- catachip, on 05/24/2008, -2/+18I'm just getting a white page. Which probably means that Ad Blocker is blocking the whole article... probably a good sign it's crap anyway.
- SoIcanDigg, on 05/24/2008, -1/+11Is that guy in the pic counting the diseases with his fingers?
- spence798, on 05/24/2008, -0/+8Damn, I was really hoping chronic obstructive pulmonary disease would take the #1 spot. Ischemic heart disease is such a prima-dona.
- inactive, on 05/24/2008, -0/+6What does the guy from Dirty Jobs have to do with the top 10 list?
- inactive, on 05/24/2008, -0/+6Bad title...
"Most common diseases that cause death" (cancer, heart disease) is a lot different from "most deadly diseases..." (bubonic plague, ebola) - dullnation, on 05/24/2008, -0/+5Whats a list worth without some background information? Lame.
- VyPR, on 05/24/2008, -0/+4Cancer is only number 10? Seems like everyone I know dies of it sooner or later.
- inactive, on 05/24/2008, -0/+4the guy in the pick has #7 Diarrheal disease
- mirunit, on 05/24/2008, -0/+3Because it cures them right?
- deathfix, on 05/24/2008, -0/+3It's Mike Rowe after curing the diseased with his bare hands on Dirty Jobs.
- ThaDRD, on 05/24/2008, -0/+3Diarrheal Diseases - I should be dead by now as I often suffer that after a trip to McDonald's.
- fuzzybeard, on 05/25/2008, -0/+2Wouldn't that make Taco Bell a terrorist organisation with WMD's?
- DrSnugglebunny, on 05/24/2008, -0/+2dug down for no interpretive text; just a mindless top 10
- lamiaconfitor, on 05/24/2008, -0/+2True, the sounds are pretty gross.
- DaDrake, on 05/24/2008, -2/+3I want my 15 seconds of my life back (plus 10 seconds interest for this comment I just had to write).
- clickwir, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1So many "articles" posted to digg could just be put in the comments, it would save so much hassle.
- DolphinGL, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Can Discovery still be called a science channel?
- fuzzybeard, on 05/25/2008, -0/+1That's because filoviridae (Ebola, Marburg) are so primitive in structure they are unable (currently, thank Spirit!) to jump from host to host without direct contact of sera from host to host. It wouldn't take much to turn them into potential Doomsday bugs: fortify them with oncogenes, then find a host organism with similar immunochemistry to do the dirty work for you.
The trick to turning any pathogen deadly is to make it viable after it's been aerosolized. After all, what spreads faster than the common cold?

What a shocker lol - Soldierboi, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Because Mike Rowe gets DIGGS.
- IAmTheGuy, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1I was expecting ebola to be number 1. Sure it is an extremely obscure disease, but its got a pretty high mortality rate and no cure.
- inactive, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1I'm sending this to my hypochondriac friend.
That'll teach the ***** to steal from the bank in Monopoly. - kh99, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1I'm sure it works exactly as they wanted it to - you have to refresh the ads 10 times to read it all.
- coldfusion1970, on 05/25/2008, -0/+1Or diseases like stupidity.
- lamiaconfitor, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1unless you have a different ad blocker then I do, then no. I had to click each time though. welcome to flash!
- lamiaconfitor, on 05/24/2008, -2/+3yes, I did bury you.
- inactive, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1WE'LL DO IT FLASH! ***** THIS RULES!
- dekuscrub, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Buried for annoying site.
- mirunit, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Thanks, but I think the article should be re-labeled for COMMON deadly diseases opposed to just "top deadly diseases".
- Whiteknight117, on 05/25/2008, -0/+1It's the most common deadly diseases, not the most deadly.
- emotecontrol, on 05/20/2009, -0/+1Tuberculosis is #8? It's the most deadly infectious disease in the world. It kills more people annually than all other infectious diseases combined. Also, 1, 2, 5, and 10 could have been just grouped together as "old age". In addition, HIV/AIDS isn't deadly. It doesn't actually kill you. It compromises your immune system so that something else (quite often tuberculosis) has an easy time infecting you and you die of that. Part of the reason that tuberculosis made a comeback after being rendered almost extinct was because of the AIDS epidemic, which created a very susceptible population for drug-resistant strains to develop in.
- wisefool9, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1buried for being pointless.
- woodcoxcb, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1I love the whole world, and all its deadly diseases.
Boom de ah da, boom de ah da, boom de ah da, boom de ah da. - IHaveCrayons, on 05/24/2008, -0/+120 dollars a pair? That's a pretty good deal I need some Adidas Barricades....
- gavin422, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Yeah, it really annoys me when I see a "TOP 10 MOST DEADLY DISEASES EVER!" list and they list things like influenza or childbirth ("Perinatal Conditions"). I mean, sure, they probably kill millions of people a year, but millions survive them every year too. I want a disease that will have you wretching on the floor ten seconds after you contract it.
- vandalin7, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Killing an individual quickly doesn't make a disease deadly. It has to hang around the host long enough so it can spread to another. Ebola has plenty of survivors and most lead normal lives afterwards. Rabies on the other hand has only 6 known cases in which an individual has survived. However, all of the 6 survivors have brain damage because of it.
- vandalin7, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1I'm pretty sure rabies is at the top of that list for the CDC. Not 100% sure but close. I know Ebola is near the bottom since it kills its host too quickly before it has a good amount of time to spread.
- RoshanK, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Apparently they're selling his DVD on the site if you look at the lower right corner.
- czhe, on 05/24/2008, -0/+0Dugg for squishy sound.
- Haoie, on 05/24/2008, -0/+0Thanks for that.
I notice no mention of exotic diseases, like ebola. -
