  • immatellyouwhat, on 04/28/2009, -1/+5Wow first our recession was claimed to be already leveling out in a matter of months and now we are getting through potential widespread epidemics in a matter of weeks? Take that Black Death!
  • 10lbhammer, on 04/28/2009, -0/+4felipeb: in the united states, cities often go by the name of the city, followed by the name of the state. new york, new york, is the city of new york, in the state of new york. people often call new york: the town so nice they named it twice.
  • felipeb, on 04/28/2009, -1/+5No, in many countries people keep both parents' last names. His mom and dad both are Hernandez
  • andyb747, on 04/28/2009, -1/+5There is no swine ..... er.. spoon.
  • InetRoadkill, on 04/29/2009, -0/+3Another take on the flu's origin. It's looking like it did originate at that industrial pig farm in mexico.

  • emjaymj, on 04/29/2009, -0/+3So then shouldn't the parents both have 2 last names? Why don't their have 4 last names? Do they just take the grandfathers' last names?

  • Cowzeetgrass, on 04/29/2009, -0/+3The Sun? Really?

    Survivor of a stubbed toe and cure for all mankind.

    Not do to downplay those that lost their lives to this, but every time someone dies from something new, it's the new epidemic. Give it a few weeks and it's as bad as a cold. Thousands die every day from other causes, we don't bat an eye, no global news story for them.

    What everyone should be doing is checking digg, we cure cancer every couple weeks.
  • adith, on 04/29/2009, -0/+3He might have also been pointing out that the description has his name wrong.
  • omnithought, on 04/29/2009, -0/+3*****' Baby Diego....oh wait....Hernandez Hernandez
