Yo, Marv..
..Not sure of your exact location..
..but you might want To "DUCK & COVER", Buddy!

Powerful typhoon bears down on central Philippines
_____

This one looks like it could be a BAD ONE!

**Bundle up your stuff
and be prepared to Bug-Out @ a Moment's Notice

I saw it too. They say it is the biggest typhoon this year. Take care Marv.

Cel, now you've got me thinking of Typhoid Mary

With my wandering mind, it's a wonder I ever get anything done.

I know I keep returning to the same subject,
but that's the best part of watching "MST3K"
("Mystery Science Theater 30000")

It's wildly non-linear...
throwing nearly 300-600 obscure references at
you per show... it's pretty much like ducking
50 calibre machine-gun bullets for 1 1/2hrs

lol trust me, it's more fun than it sounds!

It gets your neurons firing at top speed...
each reference setting off 2-5 others until
your skull is red-hot & you're gibbering like
an idiot until the world returns to normal.

I used to watch that show. It was one of a kind back when there was less variety in what was thought possible in TV programming. I was quite busy around that time in my life, but I still managed to catch quite a few episodes.

Yep ole Mary Mallon.... her food tasted like....

Because it WAS !!!!

(Typhoid is spread oral-fecal route !!)

Wilber Wright died of Typhoid Fever... so did one of Lincoln's sons.

Typhoid Mary blunders across the internet spreading infection far and wide. Ignoring repeated warnings not to open attachments from unknown senders and unmoved by entreaties to run security patches and update virus definitions she is the unwitting vector for countless malicious hacks, Trojan horses and embedded viruses. Typhoid Mary believes that someone out there really DOES want her to have “Good Times", or “Win a Holiday”, or that a nice person is actually sending her “Penpal Greetings”. She is intensely loathed by Propellerhead, and is the frequent object of Admin’s homicidal fantasies.

The wiki article said that Mallon stated that she didn't feel washing her hands was necessary, though she worked as a cook.

Monster typhoon Haiyan roars into Philippines
_____
Typhoon Haiyan, the world's strongest storm of the year, has made
landfall in the Philippines with winds of up to 235 km/h (146mph).

wow...
and that's the 19th typhoon this season alone

Remember in the 1890s-early 1900s, many had not heard of bacteria or microbes and the disease they caused. Also many, just like Global warming and Evolution, thought it was a hoax ! "How could little tiny things make me (bigger) sick !!??!"

Also many thought you could just wipe them off with a clean towel or rag and you're good to go ! (to the "john")
