If you think of the whole scheme of things, and the domino affect it would have had, it could have almost destroyed civilization, considering how reliant on computers we've become...

Think about a hospital (just one, even), losing it's electricity for one hour...

Then, if you can, try to imagine... oh, let's say, a bank losing it's means of security.

Or a penitentiary losing it's power for 3 seconds....

Then think about just these examples happening globaly, for an indefinate amount of time.

Pandemonium.

Oh sure, it might be "fixed" eventually, perhaps when millions of people have been murdered, starved to death, or otherwise.

Yeah the name does sort of blow. If I'm going to be wiped out by this shit then I at least want it to have an awesome name so I can die with a little dignity.

jennthebenn 04.26.2009 06:52 PM

"Pig Sickness"

"Wilbur's Revenge"

flophousefloozie 04.26.2009 06:55 PM

Also, I must point out that the title of this thread is grammatically inncorect. I was biting my tongue, but I had an itch. I always appreciate it when people point out my mistakes... for future reference, you know...

Why coffins? Why in the middle of Georgia?

Well, apparently the Government is expecting a half million people to die relatively soon, and the Atlanta Airport is a major airline traffic hub, probably the biggest in the country, which means Georgia is a prime base to conduct military operations and coordination. It is also the home of the CDC, the Center for Disease Control. I don't want to alarm anyone, but usually you don't buy 500,000 plastic coffins "just in case something happens," you buy them because you know something is going to happen. These air tight seal containers would be perfect to bury victims of plague or biological warfare in, wouldn't they?

That was on the side thingy. It's so weird.

go japanese and wear a face mask

jennthebenn 04.26.2009 08:09 PM

About the "coffins"--always thought they were there in preparation for
dead military.

Remove the apostrophe from each "it's," please.
Thank you.

flophousefloozie 04.27.2009 12:20 PM

See, point proven... And he's so polite about it!

tesla69 04.27.2009 12:30 PM

its weird the guy who welcomed President Obama to Mexico on 4/16 died the next day from the flu.

flophousefloozie 04.27.2009 12:30 PM

And apparently Canada is effected by this now, too...

He actually died? I didn't know that...

Ha! That time affected would have been correct!

jennthebenn 04.27.2009 12:44 PM

I have a sore throat. In great American fashion, I will now drive myself
to even more fantastic heights (depths?) of illness by worrying that is a sign
of Wilbur's Revenge.

uhler 04.27.2009 02:18 PM

don't eat anymore pigs in the blanket.

floatingslowly 04.27.2009 03:26 PM

my minion just accused me of being "the biggest dork" she ever met, due to my in-depth plan for post-apocalyptic survivorship.

she was ok with it up until the whole "meeting uninfected females over short-wave radio - in order to repopulate the planet" bit.

hopefully, the internet will still work for awhile. that way, I won't have to waste time figuring out how to get the radio to work.

omg I'm sooo excited though!!! this is MUCH better than a zombie-apocalypse because you don't have to spend the rest of yr life behind a barricade!!!

Savage Clone 04.27.2009 03:27 PM

There aren't any females on shortwave.

floatingslowly 04.27.2009 03:30 PM

^^^ first of all, HOW DARE YOU try to stiffle my dreams.

second, when the cellphones don't work, there will be! oh, yes indeed, there will be.

right now, I'm rubbing my graspers together in greedy anticipation!!!!!

Savage Clone 04.27.2009 03:32 PM

Next you'll be claiming they're on HAM radio.

Savage Clone 04.27.2009 03:38 PM

I guess they are:

Damn, you're right. I even thought that one over. Those two words have always screwed with my head. Dunno why...

Nice of you to laugh at me, though.

I was on short-wave radio... I would be on it all the time, but I don't have access to it anymore...

floatingslowly 04.27.2009 03:57 PM

^^^ OMG CLONE....SEE WHAT I MEAN? have you seen her in a cat-suit?

utopia-application ACCEPTED.

@ clone: oh no no no. those females are completely unacceptable. I'm aiming for the first-time emergency-use-only crowd (with some exceptions: see above).

if I am to remake humanity in my own image, I'm going to need higher-quality stock material than those that you have depicted.

it's a shame about girlgun, really. but is it my fault if she isn't among the .05% that survive? I think that she'll want me to get on with my life. a life filled with mindless breeding and lazy days.

Savage Clone 04.27.2009 04:01 PM

If I survive I guess I shouldn't mention the vasectomy.

This was either a brilliant pun or a typo.

I never know with him.

flophousefloozie 04.27.2009 04:14 PM

The World Health Organization raised its pandemic alert level to Phase 4 on Monday, verifying human-to-human transmission of swine flu, as the suspected death toll from the virus in Mexico hit 149.

summer 04.27.2009 04:31 PM

I heard from one of my conspiracy nut friends that the vaccine they're making is designed to kill 90% of the people they give it to >.>

jennthebenn 04.27.2009 04:41 PM

Source is impeccable I'm sure.
