A Hand Washing Poll

Man's wristwatch. Could be man's jeans & ass. No hips. 75% confidence it's a man.

Sorry, but E. coli is not harmless despite the fact that it is ubiquitous. In fact, from DNA sequence analysis it's now clear that Shigella is in fact E. coli that is simply carrying specific plasmids that encode a specific cluster of virulence factors. The species name has remained in place for historical reasons. Other E. coli isolates carry other plasmids and other virulence factors. Worldwide, the incidence of deaths from E. coli caused diseases (mostly diarrhea) is in the millions.

BTW Shigellosis is a very serious disease. It is not mild, and it is not the cause of restaurant food poisoning.

Thanks for the biology lesson Didn't realize that shigella was a variety of e. coli. The dangers of learning this sort of information from restaurant food safety courses

I disagree though, in that Shigella -> food poisoning in restaurants. It certainly is a cause, and from the numbers we discussed in the aforementioned safety courses, is the most common cause.

Also, I wasn't saying e. coli wasn't dangerous; but I thought that e. coli from humans who are not already sick is not dangerous; it is e. coli from chickens/cows/etc. that cause first world e. coli infections. Third world I couldn't speak towards, as I know nothing about that portion of it...

You guys clearly have no idea what a man's ass looks like.

That's not a man's ass.

[Jon Miller]

I admit I don't know, however, it didn't draw me in.

Could be the picture, or the person (if the person is female). Could also be because it is a dude.

Bra strap, guys, bra strap.

It's a lesbian. Short hair, and she's standing on a wood deck surrounded by trees, and that's a Subaru in the upper left.

[Blaupanzer]

While your at it, why don't you give her a name, a significant other, and a life story? Jeez, guys. It's a chick with fairly broad shoulders and not afraid to show them, I would guess. Why don't we ask -Jrabbit? Hey, -Jrabbit, who is the picture of?

[Q Classic]

Well, her name is Sam Pescovitz, and she's an artist, and she's been in a relationship with Amy Ling, who works as a General Practicioner, for almost two years now. The Subaru she's had since college at Sarah Lawrence, where she majored in Art History. They often spend their evenings in, and tune into Rachel Maddow (but then, who doesn't?). She doesn't speak with her father Barchas ever since he disowned her (he's Orthodox), and her mother Helen passed on when she was a child of pancreatic cancer.

She doesn't like computers all that much, and she got that shirt at a benefit her wife was holding for the local restaurants.

She won't admit it, but her favorite artist is Rick Astley.

[Alinestra Covelia]

And she recently talked me into voting for Obama at an open air Modest Mouse concert in Reno.

At work, I wash with soap & water. The water is never warm, though, so that probably isn't great.

At home I'm more lax.

-Arrian

[MrFun]

I don't think we want to know to what extreme that you're lax at home, Arrian.

[Arrian]

Well, isn't it nice for you that I didn't give you detail? You must be so relieved.

Now go back to pointlessly boycotting Dominos pizza. Work up that righteous fury!

[chequita guevara]

washing with soap and water is the number one thing you can do to reduce your risk of getting sick, well, that, and not licking the bathroom floors.

I googled the picture and found it. The article at that site had two pictures. This was the second. Since the railing in the back looks the same I'm assuming that this is probably the same person.
