I really wished you people would leave Gru alone. He's really a nice guy...

ALERT: Silent “Killer” Bug Is Now in America Thanks to Illegals %5BPHOTOS%5D This is the kind of report that nightmares are made of – especially if you’re a resident of Texas. And it’s made the worse because at first glance, it looks fake. Unfortunately, it isn’t. (H/T Washington Post) Pay attention, because there’s a new threat in the U.S., and it looks almost identical to the common “stink bug.” (H/T MadWorldNews) The is a small, nasty, deadly, parasite-carrying bug that not only sneaks up in the middle of the night, but guess where it’s preferred biting location is? Your face. Yes, this bug, which is affectionately known as the “kissing bug” due to it’s preference to bite your facial area, is scientifically known as the reduviid, a type of triatomine bug known to carry and transmit parasites. When the bug attacks your face, it leaves what looks like a run-of-the-mill bug bite from a mosquito or fly, but the aftermath of the bite is what’s making Texas residents dangerously sick and can ultimately kill. The reduviid bug carries a terrible parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi, which causes Chagas disease in humans. Chagas is an inflammatory, infectious disease that causes damage to the heart and central nervous system and can easily kill a human if not treated immediately. According to a Baylor College of Medicine epidemiologist Nolan Garcia, “It ultimately ends up causing heart disease in about 30 percent of those who are infected.” He added, “We think of Chagas disease as a silent killer.” According to recent reports, the reduviid bug has already infected 17 people in the Houston area. There’s no telling how many more are infected but haven’t sought treatment. An expert in parasitic diseases for the CDC, Susan Montgomery, estimates that there are more infected persons in the U.S. How has the reduviid bug made it’s way onto U.S. soil, since it’s endemic to Central America? You guessed it – illegal immigrants who cross the border every single day. They are carrying the bug in clothing, suitcases, and other items. It eventually makes its way into Texas and begins its destructive course. Yet another reason to seal the borders to protect Americans.

You should quote him, so he'll know to check back in the thread. -

Never is a loooong time. -

Anytime you want. But you better start contributing posts with more substance than this or you'll have to wait a few days to post. -

Com'on! Either they have to pay us in US Dollars or they don't. Make up your mind! -

I've attempted to explain that to you, but you are obviously ignoring or unable to comprehend what I have presented. Perhaps you're affected by that virus? -

That's my point...

There's a virus that makes you stupid, scientists say Researchers at Johns Hopkins and the University of Nebraska say that the algae virus affects human cognitive functions. by Chris Matyszczyk November 10, 2014 10:21 AM PST Could it be that there's a virus inside you that impairs your cognitive functions? Do you have days when you just can't get anything right? Are there times when you stare at yourself in the mirror somewhere around midnight and say: "Why the hell did I do that?" I'd like to offer you hope. It may be that you're not innately stupid, silly, dumb, brain-dead or even gormless. Indeed, it may well be that you've got an algae virus that's messing with your cognitive systems. My own brain was moved, you see, by the Independent which muttered that scientists had discovered a virus that "makes you stupid." I immediately inserted medical instruments inside my cranium -- without anesthetic -- to see if I could find this virus, which might be my excuse for a thousand silly actions. Well, I wanted to. Instead, I went to look at the study, published by the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. "Chlorovirus ATCV-1 is part of the human oropharyngeal virome and is associated with changes in cognitive functions in humans and mice." A large group of scientists from both Johns Hopkins University and the University of Nebraska examined microorganisms that populate our "mucosal surfaces." A surprise discovery was that the ATCV-1 virus -- which comes from algae -- seemed to affect human cognition. Previously, it had been thought that humans weren't prone to being infected by this virus. However, in taking throat swabs from 92 people, the researchers found 40 of them had the virus. The research report says: "The presence of ATCV-1 DNA was not associated with demographic variables but was associated with a modest but statistically significant decrease in the performance on cognitive assessments of visual processing and visual motor speed." The decrease was around 10 percent. The scientists tested this result by injecting mice with the same virus. They say the results were similar. When they found the virus, the scientists weren't sure what it was. They discovered it had previously been found in green algae which inhabit rivers and lakes. But if such a high proportion of the guinea pigs in this study had the virus, what if 40 percent of the world is also adorned by it? Might this explain some of the more macro aspects of human behavior, such as voting patterns, fast-food worship and Prius-driving? Moreover, how easy is it to catch the virus and suddenly lose a promotion, a spouse or one's way home? The University of Nebraska's Professor James L. Van Etten, a member of the research team, told Newsweek that currently there was no indication this virus was contagious. He added: "My best guess is that these viruses may infect another microorganism besides the algae that we have been studying... This other microorganism may be the way that the virus gets into the throat." A scientist armed with a best guess is like a soldier with a water pistol. Somewhere, somehow, there might a thing living inside you that makes you do 10 percent more inadvisable things than you would normally do. And, let's face it, you do quite a few inadvisable things every day. We don't know where the virus might have come from. But there's a chance that it might interfere with our thought-processes at vital moments. Should we be surprised? We have to take so many cognitive decisions every day. We fancy ourselves as intelligent beings, but we're really quite primitive sorts, easily affected by all sorts of stimuli, some of which are clearly deleterious. We make mistakes all the time. The notion that there might be a virus that hinders our cognitive processes feels both a touch frightening and quaintly reassuring. I'm sorry about the affair, darling. It was the virus. Please miss. The virus messed up my homework. No, officer. I wasn't speeding, but my virus was. -

LOL, the unteachable trying to teach! -

Where do you come up with yours? Its called Trade! The US buys our goods with our US Dollars, and we buy other country's goods with their money, any difference would be settled using the established exchange rate. Article 37 Freedom of currency Parties to a contract or any other voluntary undertaking or transaction, including a bill, note or instrument or security for money, may denominate a payment obligation in any currency agreed upon. Payment in discharge of any debt or liability arising from a contract or any other voluntary undertaking or transaction, including on a bill, note, instrument or security for money, may be made in any currency agreed upon as the currency of payment. An agreement under this Article may be express or implied from surrounding circumstances including course of dealing, usage of trade, or course of performance.

It means if a person brings in a 25,000 Dinar Note, he gets 25,000 Dinar Back using whatever Dinar denominations that equal 25,000 Dinar. Article 36 Redemption of currency 1. The CBI may decide to redeem banknotes or coins by issuing, free of charge, other banknotes or coins in equivalent amounts. A decision to redeem banknotes or coins shall be issued in the form of a regulation of the CBI specifying the period during which the exchange shall take place and the locations and times at which withdrawn banknotes or coins shall be presented for redemption. 2. At the end of the exchange period, or at any other time specified by the CBI, redeemed banknotes and coins shall be demonetized and cease to be legal tender. 3. The CBI shall notify the public, by publication in the Official Publication, of the banknotes and coins that are legal tender. That's a LIE! Read the CBI Law! Nowhere in that Law is the CBI required to exchange Dinar for any other Foreign Currency, period end of story. -

Its called the Liberal aka Democratic Party and the Fabrication is Obama... -

That wasn't Hillarious was it? -

These people really need to spend time in prision... -

I do pray for her and the President. Please develop a sense of humor and take the chip off your shoulder. -

M0, M1, M2, etc., are all measures of units of currency. The amount of currency doesn't change because the exchange rate changes. The additional value comes from the new exchange rate. The CBI only has to exchange currency at equivalent units, it doesn't have to exchange currency with another foreign currency. Why can't you guys grasp this simple concept??? -

M2 will be the same before and after the RV, the only difference will be their M2 after the RV will buy alot more than before., which will stimulate internal an external investments and the economy. .

Go back and reread "how" it was detected... .

Where's Ben Carson when you need him??? -

Where are you getting your information?? It sounds to me like you're pulling it out of your backside. What you just stated is all in your head on how you perceive things will play out. It has nothing to do with the Facts and reality of the situation at hand. Please, please, provide some sources to your ramblings. -

Sure, you see a problem with that? But I'm not going to cash in all 100 Million, you gotta wait for it to hit the final 3:1 rate. -
