finger licking

Damn... the H1N1 mortality rate in Malaysia ain't slowing down huh.. 38 deaths in 2253 cases. That's like 1.69% mortality rate. I think the rest of the world shows a 0.80% mortality rate.

So... in Malaysia... it's pretty serious. Twice as deadly! But unfortunately not many people are taking this report seriously yet. In the recent PC fair, you could actually count the number of people only wearing masks.

Well, I guess people still feel safe as long as they do not touch their eyes, nose or mouth. Truth be told, I also believe in that. Malaysians are a bunch of risk takers.

Hmm.. if it gets any worse, I would have to stop picking my nose. It's hard to kick a habit. But maybe nose-picking isn't so bad...


Wait for it...



... as long as you eat your booger.

Ok. Let me explain..

According to Professor Dr. Friedrich, a lung specialist in Austria, picking your nose and eating it is healthy for two reasons:
1) Obviously you will be able to reach for every nook and cranny better than if you were to use a handkerchief. Especially if you use your pinky.. longer nails better :p
2) Eating the dry remains will boost your body's immune system. The nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria is collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a vaccine.

See.. don't have to wait for those experts to prepare the vaccinations. Just pick the nose of a H1N1 patient at Sungai Buloh, do a quick check to see if anybody is looking, and quickly shove it into your mouth with a big smile on your face.


Well, who could be for certain this crazy idea won't work? Any volunteers? :p


P/s: This actually reminds me of a joke...

Why do gorillas have big nostrils?
- Because the have big fingers :p -
