Oh, oh... Just thought of something.... 1918, flu, war and the Sox

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

can history repeat itself?

1. If a Red Sox victory means millions of people dead, I'll pass, thank you.

I can root for my Patriots with a clear conscience.

2. Which flu do you mean?

The one that's due to come around this winter that there isn't enough vaccine for?

Or the 1918 one that they recently reconstituted in the laboratory? :scared: :scared: :scared:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

4. Um, take your pick.

[Mojambo]

3. Nice catch.

I'm laughing, but I've got the flu right now and I really can't seem to shake it.

5. kick for sox fans

[kick-ass-bob]

6. I think you are scary.

:scared:

7. Dunno. Are they still burning horse manure at Fort Riley? n/t

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

9. No, but that had nothing to do with it. That old dog don't hunt

these days. I know that was blamed for the first cases, but I think pretty much everyone who has studied the outbreak since has discredited that.

Flu was already rampant in several cities before the "burn" at Ft. Riley, and it does not explain how the sailors on the USS Texas got sick in Boston 4 days later.
