An unfortunate series of events

Suspicious Deaths of esteemed microbiologists.

The first three died in the space of just over a week in November....Just four days after Dr. Que fell unconscious came the mysterious disappearance of Don Wiley, 57, one of the foremost microbiologists in the United States....Just five days after that, the world-class microbiologist and high-profile Russian defector Valdimir Pasechnik, 64, fell dead....The next two deaths came four days apart in December....Four days later, Nguyen Van Set, 44, died at work in Geelong, Australia, in a laboratory accident....Then in February, the Russian microbiologist Victor Korshunov, 56, an expert in intestinal bacteria of children around the world, was bashed over the head near his home in Moscow. Five days later the British microbiologist Ian Langford, 40, was found dead in his home near Norwich, England, naked from the waist down and wedged under a chair...[Holzmayer] was killed by fellow microbiologist Guyang (Matthew) Huang, 38, who shot her seven times when she opened the door to a pizza delivery. Then he shot himself....David Wynn-Williams, 55, a respected astrobiologist with the British Antarctic Survey, who studied the habits of microbes that might survive in outer space, died in a freak road accident near his home in Cambridge, England. He was hit by a car while he was jogging. The following day, Steven Mostow, 63, known as Dr. Flu for his expertise in treating influenza, and a noted expert in bioterrorism, died when the airplane he was piloting crashed near Denver.

i had my first kiss at sixteen because everyone thought i was hideous. i mean, i knew about sex and stuff (good sex ed at my school) but oh my god i was innocent. (93.7% on the 1500 question purity test. scared i can remember that. ;)

froggy hands would rock my world. i might have to buy liquid latex at some point..

you'd have been fine there if you were gay though, so maybe not so perilous :-)
