From the Inbox

Okay, that makes it sound like it's from one of my legions of readers. It's really from my mom.

Since I'll doubtless be one of the first dead should the bird flu start its lethal migration anytime in the next two weeks (see below the "China Pic of the Day" involving the chicken head), I feel an obligation to inform my readers of the following:

The bird flu is a big topic these days, and a pretty scary one. The Center for Disease Control has released a list of symptoms of bird flu. If you experience any of the following, please seek medical treatment immediately:

1. High fever
2. Congestion
3. Nausea
4. Fatigue
5. Aching in the joints
6. An irresistible urge to crap on someone's windshield.
