NO! not YOU Coldfire!
I hate this miserable, rotten, stinking, lowdown, foul, COLD!!! May each of it’s germs die a slow and painfull death, drowning in cough syrup! For most of this week I’ve been a sneezing, sniffing wreck. Try talking for four hours straight when your throat feels like a sandpaper factory and your choices are either speak or breathe! It’s a good thing I can’t transmit my various virus’s through the net, or the whole darn board would be flat on it’s back.
(That’s not what I meant, you perverts!)
I’m nearly human again, but the almost-over-it stage is almost worse. At least with a full blown cold I get a little sympathy, but since I still feel like crap, but look somewhat better, I don’t even get to slack off!
So, wait, what’s your problem with ColdFire again?
Um, would this be a bad time to tell you all about the Evolutionary Drama of Host-Parasite Coevolution? See, actually, pathogens find it to their advantage to mitigate their virulence, provided they can do so without compromising their livelihood. Also, did you know that mitochondria are the ultimate pathogens, the ultimate symbionts? The mitochondria. Absolutely. A bacterial invader probably 2.5 billion years ago that got into the first eukaryotic cells and conferred oxidative machinery. I mean, wow! Your body is just a laboratory for Evolution in Action. By experiencing this cold virus, you are participating in 3 billion years of Evolution. Doesn’t it make you feel proud?
Feeling better yet?

NO!
There’s just no pleasing some people.

Umm…

Oh well, I admit it…
WHOOSH!
