Dead Swans Just Not a Good Sign

Posted by Tanja / April 6, 2006

Just browsing the news wires I caught this story about H5N1 in a dead swan in Scotland and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Just a couple days ago Spacing Wire had a seemingly random post about a dead swan on Queen's Quay. Not that I'm getting paranoid, but I'm wondering now if authorities checked out the scene at all. It would seem commenters on the aforementioned thread are making the connection as well.

it's always a good idea to call toronto public health (416-338-7600) to notify them of dead birds, but it's not too likely it had avian flu. the case in scotland was not unexpected based on bird migration patterns, but a case in toronto right now would be fairly unexpected.

hey, Well not sure if you'll check this or not, but i live down here on queens quay and that swan was hit by a car, i saw the entire ordeal, it didnt just die on its own. The thing im wondering about is how in the hell did it get on the road?

[i]Three men, an Scot, and an English man and a sumo wrestler were going to commit suicide by jumping of the top of a building. The Scot jumped off and shouted ''God save Scotland !'' The English man jumped off and shouted ''God Save England!'' The Sumo wrestler jumped off and shouted ''God save the person who I land on!''[/i]

There were three women who were at the gynecologist having pre-natel
checkups The doctor asked the first woman "in what position was the
baby concieved ?"
"He was on top ", she replyed.
"You will have a boy !" the doctor exclaimed.

The second woman was asked the same question.
"I was on top ", was the reply.
"you will have a baby girl. " said the doctor.

With this, the third women, a blond, burst into tears.
"Whats the matter ?" asked the doc.
"Am I going to have puppies ?".....
