This morning a news reader on CNN made a point of saying that you cannot get swine flu from eating bacon. Are people really that ignorant and fearful? Reply
Yes, people are that ignorant and fearful. Sad, but true. We run our own mailing list that has been going strong since, oh, 1995 or so… Reply
Well, yes, but the illustration next to the Crackmonkey74 panel in the comic was obviously from the actual Crackmonkey which you can see if you click the link in my last reply. Which means xkcd is a fan, too, and I was impressed. 🙂 Reply

I think Crackmonkey has been defunct for over five years at least.
