Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Then what if they find out they've made a mistake and they know he's got it, but they don't know he's already sold it..? Oops..!

 

But how could they prove he had received it? Did you sign for it Beefy?

 

Good work returning it Beefy. Would be a pretty big dick move to sell it on.

 

Neighbour did as I wasn't in at the time.

 

Bubonic plague in Madagascar. Yes. Black Death. That one. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-25324011

Sounds heavy.

 

Heavy indeed, but it's never actually gone away. There have been outbreaks of yersinia pestis in most decades of the last few centuries in one part of the world or another. This difference nowadays is that we have antibiotics like streptomycin and gentamicin which can treat the infection and reduce mortality way down from the sort of levels in the Middle Ages.

 

Yep. Right decision. We can all flirt with what we might do. It's called temptation. You did the right thing.

I knew Malari was a big one , but the natural disasters is interesting .

Over crowding , poorly built homes etc .....

 

Wheeeey. Let's hear it for Uruguay, Earth's guinea pig.

 

Congrats on the homework. I was always right up against the clock.

Interesting graphic that. It can't have escaped anyone's notice that all the diseases in pink are generally of the 1st world, ie. the diseases of excess, and the ones in yellow are generally from the 3rd world, ie. the diseases of poverty and poor infrastructure. Of course, there are always crossovers. The injuries category is spread throughout. Natural disasters are indeed growing, as populations push into areas where it is inadvisable to live, simply because there is nowhere else or the cost of doing the right thing and rebuilding in brown field sites is deemed too high.

EDIT: It'll be interesting when individual health improves planet wise. Where do we all go then..?

Holden to cease car production in 2017 .

 

Yeah this is amazing. Also, it costs about 1 US $ a gram. To put that into perspective, over here it costs about £10 a gram.

 

See you all in Uruguay!

 

Now every fan going to the World Cup will stop off in Uruguay. They will make a roaring trade!

 

I want one .

Although if you do come off your bike at 150mph, the spills will also be very real

 

Oh, indeed. So the thrill must be massive in order to do it, don't you think..? I can't claim to be anywhere near their bracket, but I can tell anyone that the thrill riding a motorcycle far outweighs the danger.

BTW, note that road is slightly damp..? They're probably only going about 85-90%.
