TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

It's an attempt to salve some "affronted" feelings vis a vis little piggies.  :lol:  Reminds me of the year Virgin airlines refused to allow non-Muslim employees to put pigs anywhere in the workplace, for fear of offending the Muslim workers.  LAEM

Just found a very interesting article published in April last year. It tells of the H1N1 flu picking up steam and evolving (in the U.S and Austria no less) into a potential pandemic candidate.

I guess this particular flu has a couple of different strains, so when my husband read the CDC warning in his email the other day, he panicked slightly but then read which strain it was and relaxed, saying, "Aw, it's the wrong one to make a big deal over!"

So there you have it.
