Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Emma B Date: 29 Jan 08 - 04:15 PM Can't think of anchovies without thinking of my favourite summer salads which never fails to bring back memories of shady lunches in Province' Salade Nicoise |

Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Rapparee Date: 29 Jan 08 - 08:29 AM I did that once, made lemonade that way. But I just was too tired to stir, so I fell asleep on the couch instead. Didn't stir for eight or nine hours. |

Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Janie Date: 28 Jan 08 - 11:39 PM Amos simply refers to him as the Governator. Much easier to spell. I'd guess not, Ebbie. It seemed to have moved from Asia on rats bearing infected fleas aboard ships. Sure did knock back the population of Europe a bit. At least, I've never seen any reference to anchovy fleas being responsible. |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 28 Jan 08 - 11:19 PM Did the Black Death, the Bubonic Plague of 1347-1451, hit the North American continent? No. It wanted to hit the North American continent but, hey, do you realize how big the North American continent is? It's huge! To hit it in any meaningful way, you'd need a hammer so big that nobody could lift it. Not even Arnold |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Ebbie Date: 28 Jan 08 - 10:47 PM I don't know either, Rap. But I am sorry. Another question: Did the Black Death, the Bubonic Plague of 1347-1451, hit the North American continent? |

Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: bobad Date: 28 Jan 08 - 09:20 PM Here is an elegant answer to your queston #1, Ebbie. Re: Why can't doctors find cures for viruses such as Herpes, AIDS, etc? Date: Fri May 28 09:59:44 1999 Posted By: Brian Foley, Post-doc/Fellow Molecular Genetics Area of science: Virology ID: 927736361.Vi Message: First of all, don't say we "can't" find a cure. We haven't yet found a real cure, but we are still working on it. It is relatively easy to cure bacterial infections because bacteria are very different from humans, so there are many things that can affect bacteria that don't affect the human. There are thousands of ways to kill any living thing, but the trick when one thing is living inside another one, is to kill the thing inside, without killing the host. The more different the thing inside is from the host, the easier it is to find something that will kill the infecting species, but not the host. Viruses not only live inside the human body, but they also live inside the human cells. Almost all bacteria that cause problems for people live inside the body, but outside the human cells. Relatively large molecules, like the penicillin molecule, can get into the bloodstream, either through the digestive system, or by injecting it right into the blood. But most large molecules cannot cross the cell membrane and get into cells. On top of that, viruses are very simple organisms which use the host cells to replicate. They don't have their own metabolism. The host immune system can recognize infected cells and kill the whole infected cell. It can also recognize the free virus moving between cells and kill the virus. But the immune system is much more complex and amazing than any drug or method we can yet design. Because of all this, the best way we have to fight viruses, is to use vaccines to prepare the host's own immune system to fight the virus. Smallpox, polio, rabies, and many other viruses have been controlled by good vaccines. Viruses which change very quickly, such as the common cold viruses, the human influenza virus, and HIV, are more difficult to create a good vaccine for. Brian Foley HIV Database |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Ebbie Date: 28 Jan 08 - 08:11 PM Finally- there is a thread that is a natural for a couple of questions I have long had. No.1: Why is genital herpes incurable? (FYI, I do not have herpes.) No.2: Why is radioactivity non-neutralizable? |

Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: GUEST,Bob Ryszkiewicz Date: 28 Jan 08 - 03:45 PM I KNEW that once Peace starts a thread, it would turn into this. A simple, peaceful, dialogue & negotiation between friends, all of whom have similar likes and interests. Being mature individuals, I have taken the liberty of providing you this brief clip of what these discussions MIGHT be like if we were to face each other in person... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMl4kYmkx94&feature=bz301 bob |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Georgiansilver Date: 28 Jan 08 - 03:11 PM Peace...I never met anyone who smoked cigarette packages..that's amazing and so much cheaper than the actual cigarettes. You can find plenty of discarded packages at no cost. Your friends dad showed a lot of ingenuity but how do you smoke them? |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Peace Date: 28 Jan 08 - 02:58 PM Off the thread topic for a sec, seeing the Chesterfield cigarette packages really brought back some memories. My best friend's dad smoked them, back some 50 years or so. Blast from the past. Thank you. Donuel, you and Severn gotta get together at some point. He's another with the puns . . . . |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: John MacKenzie Date: 28 Jan 08 - 02:53 PM This contains anchovies, but it would take a lot of it to stuff Chesterfield Unless you mean these , and wouldn't it make them taste odd, and impossible to light? G |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Donuel Date: 28 Jan 08 - 02:52 PM I smelt that |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Jean(eanjay) Date: 28 Jan 08 - 02:51 PM Well, I can't see any swimming going on. |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Peace Date: 28 Jan 08 - 02:42 PM If you say so, eanjay, if you say so . . . . |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Jean(eanjay) Date: 28 Jan 08 - 02:39 PM But it doesn't seem to have gone off - maybe they are swimming around in it! |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Peace Date: 28 Jan 08 - 02:36 PM I GOT IT thanks to y'all. It's stuffed with, yes, you guessed it, ANCHOVIES! |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Peace Date: 28 Jan 08 - 02:35 PM I think so. This is said to be a three seater. So why does it look like a two seater? AND, what is it stuffed with? |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Jean(eanjay) Date: 28 Jan 08 - 02:34 PM ......... or will the Chesterfield go off? |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Jean(eanjay) Date: 28 Jan 08 - 02:31 PM I've looked up stuffing Chesterfields and I can find stuffing and I can find Chesterfield. Do I just put the two together? |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: Jean(eanjay) Date: 28 Jan 08 - 02:26 PM Now, could we PLEEZE get back to the thread topic? Yes, of course, I don't know what it is though! |
Subject: RE: BS: Staying on topic in threads. From: GUEST,Janie Date: 28 Jan 08 - 02:21 PM Jaysus, Peace. Now look what you've started. |
