    Adding to the geese and chicken comments, we have swans in large numbers. Swans are pretty, but they have a bad attitude and are very big. Tourists often discover this the hard way when little Billy is feeding them and runs out of food.

    Does washing your hands prevent peacock attacks? I visited a Native American encampment in the foothills of California (I was invited to attend a sweat lodge) and they had peacocks to keep the rattlesnakes away. Apparently peacocks kill rattlesnakes. At least, that's what I was told.

    A(H1N1) warning signs are all over the place in China. Also on long intl flights into any country, do not sit w/in 3 rows of someone who takes ill on the plane. Not sure how to avoid that, but if your luck runs out you are heading for a hotel room with no knob on the inside door for a week or so. Happy traveling...

    I usually pick up a GI thing when I travel overseas. There is no pattern to it, doesn't matter if I'm in Singapore or London, about 50% of the time I can count on something like what happened to Asian Flu Correspondent Trisha Takanawa:



    After awhile, it becomes more serious, like this unfortunate Ipecac episode

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRn5-LQCg2s&feature=fvw]YouTube - Family Guy Puke-A-Thon[/ame]

    and I usually catch myself moaning "I don't want to .... I don't want to" with my forehead resting on the cool porcelin of the bowl

    If it was swine flu, you'd have these symptoms: fever, chills, sore achy joints, and most pronounced of all -
    An irresistible urge to wallow in the mud :D:D

    Actually, it feels pretty good to wallow around in the mud, especially with somebody of the opposite gender

    No, but while canoeing in Montana once I was attacked by a black swan. It tried for about 5 minutes to upset the canoe, over and over again. Even as I was paddling away from the area the attacks continued (I was guessing it was defending it's nest although I never saw a nest).
