In related news, a newly discovered form of influenza: the Bruin Flu, has also reached the United States. This particular strain turns people into mutated bears. If someone who is already infected with Swine Flu is also infected with Bruin Flu, he will turn into half man, half pig, and half bear (or a half bear and half man-pig).
Former vice-president Al Gore is expected to hold a press conference later today.
