The draught doesn't kill you!

Rilly! But guess what? Hot air full of bacterias and dust can!
It seems that Romanians are the only creatures afraid of draught("curent" in Romanian) on the face of the planet. All the illnesses in the world, from the common flu to meningitis, are believed to be caused by the evil draught.

Who cares science states the different since 1877 and that this fear even has a name(Amemophobia)? No, we have to keep the windows shut even if the classroom stinks like crap and there's no air to breath.

Couple of links

Check this out before you vote for another bastard and make sure your friends see it too.

Google and the flu

While skimming through the New York Times' mobile version i found an interesting link. Practically Google aggregates search data based on keywords like "flu symptoms" groups it into geographical regions and displays it in nice graphs.
What surprises me is that the data is very accurate and is provided faster than the C.D.C(Center for Diesease Control)'s own data. It's quite nice to see things like this developed and it makes you wonder where is teh internet going and what else can you do with all the data floating around. :)

The tide is turning
