The Egyptian government of Hosni Mubarek is on Fritz's side. They've
ordered the slaughter of every pig in the country, said to number well over
300,000. Muslims, of course, do not eat pork, but the 10% of Egyptians
who are non-Muslim sure do.
What an inane, knee-jerk reaction (or some would say 'excuse'...)
Flu is flu, and every year it mutates into a new version. It's still fun, though,
to talk about a "snoutbreak," or an "aporkalypse". :)
