Fascinating. Looks like you’re right. However, disease and other stressors can disrupt that equilibrium. [LINK] Which means bats are the Mr Burns of the animal kingdom. [VIDEO]

> Right now, it hardly rates This is an underrated commentary. I'm continually amazed at what transpires in the public forum, leading me to believe that the US Government has been corrupt for quite some time, but never out in the open. Or, it could be like this [VIDEO]

I've never had the flu, and I'm curious to know why. I have a few theories: 1) I think not having kids might play a part, as every parent of young kids I know always seems to be catching stuff from them. Edit: maybe the stress of having young kids also plays a part. 2) I don't think it's the food I eat as I eat a pretty poor diet, but I do wonder if it might be the amount of food I eat as it's relatively little (I'm at the low end of the healthy BMI range), and scholar seems to have a few studies relating constant CR to a better immune system. 3) I'm a lifelong public transport user. One the one hand people say this might help build up the immune system but it doesn't quite fit with 1). 4) I avoid touching stuff like public door handles and taps. 5) Obligatory Simpsons explanation [VIDEO]
