1067: On Air

Freebirds World Burritos did a free taco Tuesday here recently. Nothing happened except, well, people got free yummy tacos.

This isn't the first time Direct TV has used a real dead person in one of their movie commercials. A couple of years ago they did a Poltergeist one. The young girl in the commercial/movie died at the age of twelve. Got them in a bit of trouble.

I have hear this many times before but it doesn't make any sense to me. When you use sanitizers, you are not killing out ALL the germs that are susceptible to those agents. You just killing out those germs that are on your hands. The rest of the germs on the rest of your body and the rest of the world are still out there fighting against those allegedly mutant germs.

If I'm going to get raped by a mutant germ, I don't want no fuckin hand-sanitizer... lots and lots of soothing aloe lube.

You are correct. I think Daemonik might be thinking of antibiotics and their overuse, which leads to tougher strains of viruses to fight (and which are easier to transmit via airborne routes, rather than just germs on the hands.)

wow that traffic/train report blows my mind, I would never leave the house either. here's the central Pennsylvania traffic report on my ride to work:
leave house, drive 2 miles on road big enough for 1 1/2 cars and hope you don't pass the school bus coming the other way, watch for the neighbors chickens, watch for deer who like to run out in front of you, make it to the "big highway" which is big enough for 2 cars. Make sure you stay between the yellow and the white line, drive forever, still watching for chickens, deer, turkey's, pheasants, and bears, then arrive at work... On the way home, repeat except now it's dark and you can't see the creatures as well!

I don't get the whole hand sanitizer issue - they are virtually non existant in Germany and we for sure do not have more illness here than you have in the US.

I am too lazy right now to google any evidence but just from my gut feeling I would assume that killing the "easy" bacteria with sanitizers and therefore allowing the resistant ones to grow and spread can not be a good thing.
