Big fire tornado experiment. How crazy would it be if Lord @Deucalion sent one of these through Sapience? I could see it now. Eleusian raging, and Mhaldorians enjoying the potential for mass extermination.

By the way, please don't be crazy and try this at home. We don't need to hear about any of you in OOC Rants about how you burned yourself horribly trying to replicate this experiment.

I always stare at this when I see a player wearing a 70ct+ diamond ring (or five of them).

Panda cheese commercials.

LOL 70 carat rings.

That's a pimp ring right there, for backhanding someone to death.

The Conspiracy Theory chart THEY don't want you to see. Spoilered to prevent the INTERNET SCANNING SATELLITES of the EVIL ILLUMINATIPS from detecting it:

@SynbiosLet's see, of those, I guess I subscribe to uh... the Aspartame one (also they taste like ass) and the Big Pharma making up diseases to sell drugs one, but more from a "brand new 'deadly' strain of flu" point of view.

@Synbios how could the chart leave out big agriculture and GMOs? I mean, they are breeding ultra-resilient weeds, destroying once sustainable farmland, outright causing thousands of deaths from famine, and are among the leading contributors to climate change, and all this in an industry dominated by Monstanto, annual-most-evil-corporation in the world contest winner! I mean, literally, a controlling share of global food production is now owned by the company that made Agent Orange for the Vietnam war. I mean, come on... this would be rejected as 'too far fetched' as a plot device for the Resident Evil series!

Influenza is deadly, and evolves quickly enough that immunity to the predominant strains of one season tends not to carry over to the predominant strains of the next. How is that making up new diseases to sell drugs?

Agent Synbios, report to my office immediately. I have heard reports of leaked Luminai documentation, and we need to have a stern talk about the application of the Code of Ethics, paragraph 7 subsection 4. The line that starts at: "Shut it, Synbios" and ends with "Cerebral reprogramming."

This post will self-destruct in ten minutes, unless enemy agents sabotaged the timer.

Swine flu killed hardly any more people than normal flu does. They need a reason to lure everyone to getting their newest greatest flu vaccine every year, so they drum up all this hype and drama.

The guy who is the events designer, SweetColinJ, was the admin for my first MUD. This does not surprise me at all.

There is a new flu vaccine every year because the virus evolves so quickly. In fact at any given moment more than one flu strain is doing rounds. The vaccine is based off what they think the most prominent one will be and sometimes it can be a miss. Still, getting your flu shot is important. Very important. Not just for your own health but for those around you. You might survive with minimal fuss but you could infect someone with a weaker immune system, very possible with the Aids pandemic here in South Africa. 

As for the money argument, Vaccines account for around 2% of income for those companies last time I checked. They make more money treating flu and flu symptoms than from the vaccine. Unless you have a valid medical reason not to, always get the vaccine.
