On the news...

Postby Silver Bunny » Sunday 18 January 2009 1:29:30am

I just got back home from the movies, and I caught on the news that you should avoid eating peanut butter because of some deadly virus associated with it.

Also, did anyone hear about Yellowstone? There has been an awful lot of earthquakes, and scientists predict a supervolcano! :o

Eek, *Hides under bed*

In other news... Coca Cola drinkers are advised to wash the top of their cans after a woman reportedly died after her mouth coming in contact with the Coca Cola can she had opened. Studies found that almost on every can, incredulous amounts of rat urine have been stained on the can. This is caused by the factory workers not properly sealing boxes and such... :eek:

Reminds me about the story when a person got sick from the meat at either McDonald's or Wendy's (i cant remember) because a rat had gotten in and pooped over their meat.

Link to Peanut Butter Article

Some articles are saying to avoid peanut butter snack products, whereas others are saying to avoid all peanut butter.

I eat peanut butter on a daily basis. This isn't good.

Peanut Butter and Jam, Peanut Butter and Bananas, and Peanut Butter and Honey have been some of my favorite sandwiches for a very, very, very long time. I don't like those peanutbutter crackers, though, so I'm fine. Also, 400 people sick from it is very miniscule in ratio to the amount of people in the U.S.A. and the world. I don't think it will be much of a problem. Yes, I feel sorry for those people who've suffered, but it is a very small ratio. I'd say to not worry too much about it.

In other news, a plane crash landed in the Hudson river recently. The main hooker? Nobody was killed. By some miracle, not a single life was lost in the plane crash. I think that's amazing.

And the plane crash was caused by some birds. Since no one was hurt, we're free to laugh about it! :lol:

That truly was a miracle. It's been all over the papers here. The pilot is a true hero.

Someone I go to church with actually works for the company that makes the engines that the plane had.
