Smallpox Day
Today, in history, Columbus infected the New World. But, hey. It was easier than brain-bashing, which we eventually had to resort to, the pox being less than efficient, eh?
And yet a few of them live. I consider it a testament to our decency.
Chou touched upon it better than me. Of course, I think I have the short side here.
so sweet. i love that i can count on you to bring pox to the table. thanks, vman.
