Indeed there should be a Nobel Prize in Cleverness. Cleverness is something of which the world has a lot already but could use even more, and it frequently has incredible effects. 

As to the article, my great-aunt got an extra ration of butter because she tested positive for tuberculosis in Nazi-occupied Holland. I don&#039;t think anybody infected her with fake tuberculosis though. And it didn&#039;t stop the Nazis from living in her home.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&#039;quote&#039;&gt;Captain Blowhard said: &quot;Ok , I have been hoping I would keep quite. But I cant …&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&#039;quote&#039;&gt;As far as UFO&#039;s or flying saucers are concerned. I cant bear for people to de-bunk the possibility in such an off-hand way . Yeah , Yeah , give me the &quot;There&#039;s no evidence&quot; nonsense.
Simply put , if you really think that then you are meatheads.
There is MASSES of evidence. Pictures , film footage and eyewitness accounts.
And you can say that they are hoaxers , loonies or seeking attention.

However , I have never seen a dolphin before in my life, Should I then discount peoples stories of swimming with them. Or poo-poo the films of them as fakes ?
Should I never believe they exist until I have a chunk of Dolphin meat in my hands ?
Is that what it will take to convince you ?
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Captain Blowhard (is there a little innuendo in that name? My friend&#039;s nickname is &quot;The Vacuum&quot; lol but slightly offensive) AAAAAAAaanywho, I have seen a dolphin, swum with dolphins, and fed a dolphin very very stinky fish. Just to give you some confidence in the existence of dolhins. they smell bad. Also, i believe that aliens exist! (I&#039;m not like you guys...) And i also believe that i have seen one. Yeah, that&#039;s right!

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks, Tink. The Tartars simply used catapaults to launch the bodies over the city walls. On the good side, there were probably very few people infected by doing the loading - for the same reason it probably wasn&#039;t the bodies that spread the plague into Kaffa. The fleas that spread plague abandon a dead body pretty quickly, and bubonic plague does not generally spread human to human. More likely Kaffa was infected by infected rats getting through the walls in their own way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I agree, I&#039;d rather peel taters anyway.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Wow this is DI!   Love all the comments too.  Am surprised that no one LOL&#039;ed the link in Cynthia&#039;s article though:  &quot;Buy Plagues and Poxes on Amazon.com &quot;   (And it wouldn&#039;t surprise me if you could not find a few on Ebay for sure. Ha!)   I do wonder, how did people &quot;launch the bodys of black death victims to the enemy&quot; with out reinfecting the whole army?  Talk about your yucky work detail!  Makes peeling tators look pretty silky.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
