How strange it would be to wake up one morning, look in the mirror & you have the head of a 'mad' cow. :eek:
Also is it now socially unacceptable to call somebody a 'swine' as it may offend people who have 'swine flu'?

It is believed by most scientists that the disease may be transmitted to human beings who eat the brain or spinal cord of infected carcasses.[3] In humans, it is known as new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD or nvCJD), and by February 2009, it had killed 164 people in Britain, and 42 elsewhere[4] with the number expected to rise because of the disease's long incubation period.[5]
