Sars was only the start I have credible information from an industry insider that Brazil is simply crawling with pinkeye. This source of mine could, if compelled to, testify to having seen classified government documents that say, even the eyes of their soap opera stars are sealed with thick, brown crust. This is not a joke. For all intents and purposes, all the people of Brazil are blind. You will, I am sure, hear travel advisories to this effect in the days to come. Just remember, you heard it here first.
And here, on a much different topic, is the best quote from a concerned reader afraid that I might get poked by a hypodermic needle in my garden:
Please, if you have to go into your garden, be careful.
I dont know why, but that cracks me up.
