On a much more serious note, the following video of a lecture by John Barry at M.I.T. explains a good deal about what is known, and some of what is not known about H1N1.



John is a real expert. The clip is lengthy but incredibly informative. (ht: Tigerhawk, here.)

College Student Video -- Wow!

Side effect of moving . . . from NJ

There may be at least one side effect associated with moving away from the Garden State.

At least, there may be if you have a child who is old enough to get a haircut, and young enough to volunteer his obviously hirsute top knot as a candidate for inclusion on Google Earth!

Naaaaa. Neither. They're just having fun. (hat tip, Tigerhawk)

Wingsuit base jumping . . . whoa!

You have to be kidding me! Just watching this will give you that internal alert, the groinal pinch you feel when you get too close to danger . . . unbelievable!

Put it on full screen to get the maximum effect.
