LIQUID PRICES

Over the weekend, I filled up my car's fuel tank, and I thought fuel has become really expensive after the recent price hike. But then I compared it with other common liquids and did some quick calculations, and I felt a little better.


To know why, see the results below ? you'll be surprised at how outrageous some other prices are !

H1N1 or Swine Flu

This was one of the images that were flashed with Swine Flu or H1N1.
Interesting to note that this virus was originally referred to as swine flu because laboratory testing showed that many of the genes in this new virus were very similar to influenza viruses that normally occur in pigs in North America. But further study has shown that this new virus is very different from what normally circulates in North American pigs. It has two genes from flu viruses that normally circulate in pigs in Europe and Asia and avian genes and human genes. Scientists call this a “quadruple reassortant” virus.

Wow!!!
