WHO's afraid of the big bad wolf?

Concerning public health measures, in line with the Regulations the Director-General is recommending, on the advice of the Committee, that all countries intensify surveillance for unusual outbreaks of influenza-like illness and severe pneumonia.

--Statement by WHO Director-General, Dr Margaret Chan

A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, 'Wolf! Wolf!' and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains.

The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror:

'Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep'

But no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock.

Dear Diary,

Nothing cool happened on the internet today.

Vista, how do I hate thee?
Let me count the ways

I hate your little halo icon
Reminding me that I've been waiting
To complete the simplest task
Your so fucking frustrating

Your taking so bloody long
That I've even penned this rhyme
I'm going to make myself a cuppa
When I do this next time

You look like a fish
But your steer like a cow
Whats more I'm pretty sure XP
Could have done it by now

Our species' journey toward tonight's epochal announcement had much less to do with that awestruck moment than it did with the moment those same ancestors woke up hungry the next morning and started studying animal tracks in the savannah mud, thereby inadvertently developing concepts like time and causality which, by abstracting both location and temporal context into a unique reconning tool within the brain, sparked the set of responses that, ages later, we now call reason.

Richard Cory
by Edwin Arlington Robinson, 1869-1935

Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him;

He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;

But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
“Good-morning,” and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—
And admirably schooled in every grace:

In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;

And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

You can send a forget-me-not
But I’ll still reach up to the top
Until the last day that I drop
Coz this is something you can’t stop
