No, but I've heard Midol helps.
Nah, the best cure for pms (putting up with men's shit) is a .38 caliber and a backhoe.

I'll never stop eating pork. There simply is no substitute for bacon, sausage, ham, and pork chops.

> Cooking doesn't stop mad cow disease.
To stop the Mad Cow disease you need to cook food at a much higher temerature than normal:
Prions can be denatured and deactivated by subjecting them to a temperature of 134 degrees Celsius (274 degrees Fahrenheit) for 18 minutes in a pressurised steam autoclave.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PrionPrions are much more resilient than Bacteria or Viruses. Many scientists still debate whether or not to even classify them as "alive" because they are nothing more than a single malformed strand of protien that reproduces upon contact with a normal protein (it converts the good protein into a bad Prion protein).

I believe I read some time ago that the avian flu could be transferred by eating infected chicken. If swine flu is a mutated avian flu......couldn't it also infect the same way?
Do we really know all we need to know about it?
Do you think some details are being withheld?

Did you know you can get ecoli from eating vegetables? You can get salmonella from eating peanuts. You can get a fat ass from eating Hersheys. You can get ringworm from playing with cats. You can get a rash from using latex on sensitive parts. Hmmm, what was I going to say?
