Microbiologist John Tam, a member of a SARS research team from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, speaks at a news conference in front of the diagram featuring the genetic fingerprint of the SARS-corona virus in Hong Kong May 2, 2003. The deadly SARS virus has been found to be mutating rapidly in Hong Kong and that would make finding a cure or vaccine more difficult, a group of local scientists said on Friday.

In this image from video, a pilot flys a helicopter while searching for the Soyuz TMA-1 capsule in which 3 astronauts returned to earth in from the international space station Sunday, May 4, 2003, near Astana, Kazakhstan. Russian spotters found the capsule north of the Aral Sea after a more than two-hour search. In mission control, just outside Moscow, the room erupted in applause at the news. The landing site was about 287 miles southwest of the target in the isolated steppes of Kazakhstan. (AP Photo/APTN)

One side of the New Hampshire state quarter depicts the Old Man of the Mountain, a rock face on the side of Cannon Mountain in Franconia. New Hampshire awoke Saturday, May 3, 2003, to find its stern granite symbol of independence and stubbornness, the Old Man of the Mountain, had collapsed into indistinguishable rubble. The fall ended nearly a century of efforts to protect the 40-foot-tall landmark from the same natural forces that created it. The coin was officially released in Aug. 2000. (AP Photo/HO)

An Afghan government worker watches as a brass caster makes a ring for him bearing a stamp of his name on the front on Sunday, May 4, 2003 in Kabul, Afghanistan. The rings, which costs 6 Afghanis (12 U.S. cents) each, allow illiterate workers to stamp their names when they 'sign in' for work each day. The new interim government is the country's largest employer, but most workers are illiterate after decades of war decimated the country's education system. (AP Photo/Amir Shah)

I would rather have SARS.

287 miles OFF TARGET!!!! That's got to be scary for American astronauts. Shoot, we could damn near put our capsules ON the aircraft carrier in the middle of an ocean. What a difference.

Bump.

Damn, a shame the Old man of the mountain fell.  That was a magnificent sight.  I hope they decide to rebuild it even though it was natural.

[homer voice]mmmmmmm.... kimchee[/homer]

I loves me some Kimchi. Have you ever tried it?
