WASHINGTON/BEIJING -- The SARS virus can live for days in the stool and urine of patients, the World Health Organization said Sunday in a new report that could shed light on the frightening spread of the disease.

Hong Kong scientists have suspected the virus could live in sewage -- something that could help explain an outbreak that affected residents at a large apartment complex.

That reminds me of a true story from the 'Gold Rush' days of California . . . But first, Blast ! the F'nChinese and their love for weird food. Their hogs and dog in the house and the mess that follows. They may all end up with SARS because they live in filth with filty animals and eat filth and wash with filty water.

Now for the 'Gold Rush:' There was a town up in the mountains -- may have been called 'Government Camp' -- I cannot recall the name. They had a Chinese guy who made the best dumplings and bisquits. He was making a fortune. Other bakers wanted to know his secret. So one night one of the bakers sneaked into the Chinese fellow's shop and watched him make his bisquits.

It was all very traditional cooking and routine until the man took a heathy wizzz in the mix.

Long story short -- there was a riot and that poor man from Asia was lynched on the spot.

Yup. Lynching helps curb that sorta crap.

(No puns intended.)

Was it a bakery in San Francisco? Heck they would give the man a parade for doing it there :)

If feces is a vector for SARS, shouldn't the media and the Democratic party be doused with bleach and quarantined?

"Yuh can say that agin pardner."

"No. Ah mean they really are pant pissin' good. REALLY!"

This also explains why it hasn't been found in the US like it has in Toronto:

We don't put up with that shit.

[aristeides]

So if bleach is routinely added to feces in the toilet, will that prevent the spread?

[Celtic Conservative]

Is that where we got sourdough?

Drudge has got a story right now about a Resturant in China being closed down for using UNDERWEAR for dish rags.

If you drink eight ounces of bleach in the morning, you definitely will not spread the virus that day.

If you drink eight ounces of bleach in the morning, you definitely will not spread the virus that day.

In today's PC world, you should have put a disclaimer on that post!...

(disclaimer note: drinking eight ounces of bleach is not recommended by the surgeon general unless approved by your HMO. However we do recommend eating biscuits made with urine if you've never tried it)
