It all started from eating Kebab...

The Spanish flu of 1918 is estimated to have killed between 20 million and 40 million.

The worst affected age group was 20 to 40 year olds.

oh man, you too ?
i am not alone ...

The strange thing about the 1918 flu was that the old were left alive while the young adults died. I believe the reason older people weren't effected by the Spanish Flu of 1918 is that the bacteria was closely related to a flu that occured in the 1870's. The people who weren't alive in the 1870's didn't have immunity to the bacteria like the people who had already been previously infected had.

dannubis, you're a victim too? I guess it must be a European thing

Supercitizen,

A true hero needs a sidekick. Can I be the Robin to Pekka's Batman? Naturally, I'd establish myself a hero alter ego as well.

[Pekka]

Of course you can. But if I have to come and save you, it doesn't mean I'm getting a loss to the record. Only after I get beaten down personally.

Feeling any better today?

Boris, strangely enough, yes. Fever is gone, no sign of diarrhea (but I wont' eat anything heavy, I think it still might come) but flu is still bothering. But it's not so bad anymore. I have to stay indoors and take it easy, but it's not horrible anymore .

How come my voodoo spells always strike the wrong person??

[Pekka]

MrFun, Damn you! Who was this meant to in the first place? You might want to not wish diarrhea on top of this, I mean you can't hate anyone that much, can you?

[MrFun]

I never reveal my secrets.

Maybe you need to make your dolls a bit more convincing?

As for your poisoned kebab Pekka, I regret that it's just another lesson in life. Now you know you are literally taking your life in your hands by eating out.

One good thing about alcohol for celebration - it is sterile.

[Pekka]

Cruddy, true.. living is dangerous. But this is still better than getting STD to my lip from that.. that would've been nasty.

I'm glad that kind of virus cannot spread trough the internet.
