German Scientist Accidentally Pricks Self with Ebola Virus

You think you had a bad day at work? Try this one.

On March 12 a German scientist accidentally “pricked her finger with a needle used to inject the deadly Ebola virus into lab mice.” Ebola as we know is some bad shit and has no known cure: “It begins with flu-like symptoms, followed by bloody diarrhea and vomiting. Days later, some victims begin bleeding through the nose, mouth and eyes. Depending on the strain of virus, it can kill up to 90 percent of victims.”

An international team of biologists and virologists immediately gathered in a transatlantic teleconference and decided on a course of action. Less than 24 hours after the incident, “an experimental vaccine never before tried on humans was on its way to Germany from a lab in Canada.” So far tests suggests that she will survive (fingers crossed), unlike this Russian scientist. Or Karen Wetterhahn, a former chemistry professor at Dartmouth.

Speaking of the movie Outbreak which featured a…wait for it…an outbreak of an Ebola-esque virus, I’d be mad if I was Morgan Freeman.

A monkey? A goddamn monkey is getting higher billing than me on the movie poster?! I’m MORGAN FREEMAN. I was RED. I’m a fucking GOD. Who’s Marcel’s agent? Why? Because I should fire YOU and hire that fucking monkey’s agent instead.

Funny Essay on Puns

Joseph Tartakovsky wrote a great essay in the New York Times on the Rodney Dangerfield of comedy, the ever groan inducing “inglorious pun.” It just gets no respect. Read it. It’s a great way to pass the time…

Amazing Bowling Shot

This is quite an amazing shot by this Japanese kingpin, but I imagine it would have REALLY annoyed the bowlers to his immediate left and right when he was practicing this shot at his local bowling alley.
