Bird flu. Swine flu. Pandemic. Chances are you’ve heard those words in the media over the last few years, and, if you’re like me, even though you scoffed somewhat at the chance of some violent outbreak, you’ll readily admit...
How do you not get excited about this news? Well, I take that back, if you don’t have a nice HD television or a Blu-ray player than you could give a rat’s rear about such glorious news. The only...
