Yup although Spanish speakers will pronounce it mahrble-ous..

Qué?

Heh.

Is it messed up that for some reason I think that there is a conspiracy behind the whole Mexican Swine Flu?

Oh come on. The Avian Flu didn't take, so now the media needs something new to scare people with.

This is what I'm thinking: It's awfully convenient to have the Swine Flu epidemic start in Mexico right before May 1st. During the last several years May First is when mostly (Illegal and Legal) Mexicans/Latinos/Hispanics parade around asking for Amnesty. I'm willing to bet that if Swine FLu doesn't appear in Los Angeles beyond a handful of cases during the next several days then after Mayday it will become a true "Pandemic" with dozens of people having contracted the Swine Flu as a result of there being May Day Parades. If this happens, and I hope it doesn't, I have a feeling that some nut job will try to blame it all on the immigrants and then things will snowball..

Okay... Now that's a conspiracy theory... I just think it's the media making it much bigger threat than it actually is. That's what happened with the Avian Flu, and SARS, and whatevers... When the media makes it big enough issue, the goverments get into the general hysteria too and it just makes the people all the more scared... Once it has killed over million I'll start believing it's a bit more of a threat than a little cold...

Depends, if you think paranoia is messed up, yes.

If you think that's a perfectly natural thing to be paranoid, then no.

Woooo, I got my BESM!

So, reading it already? Care to tell us anything about it? I have no clue what BESM actually contains and what it's good for (excepting role-playing)
