News services have reported that Pope Benedict has been stricken gravely ill with a respiratory ailment that doctors have confirmed is the virulent H5N1 Avian Flu. Doctors in the Vatican are keeping him isolated and treating him with Tamiflu; however, given his age and the previous history of the virus, they are quite concerned. Prayers and thoughts of sympathy are solicited.
While the H5N1 virus has been known to be present in Italy since early February, when the first cases were detected among wild swans, it is still uncertain how the Pontiff contracted the ailment. Italian public health officials knowledgable about the disease said it was most likely that he caught the flu from a Cardinal.

The Doctor : … and then, just to finish off, I’m going to wipe every last stinking Dalek out of the sky !
Dalek : But you have no weapons ! No defenses ! No plan !
The Doctor : Yeah ! And doesn’t that scare you to death ?

Happy Birthday Kinomoto Sakura and Kimihiro Watanuke to you too, sensei.

The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
