Germ warfare attack hits Mattsapundit
The other day, I opened the door of Mattsapundit Central Command to find a package:
Uh…
Everything about this box screamed “DO NOT OPEN ME,” from the recycled label to the return address:
AHHH!
All of a sudden, I was struck with panic, thinking of all the times I’ve ripped on the Chronicle. Did James Howard Gibbons finally snap? Is it a horse’s head from Cragg Hines? Did Jeff Cohen ship himself to my front door?
Against my better judgement, I carefully opened the box:
Eh?
To my horror, I discovered a terribly contagious virus capable of crippling even the toughest immune system:
Aww!
Yup, it’s a stuffed rhinovirus from GiantMicrobes, and it’s cute as a button. It turns out my brazen attacker is none other than Chron medical writer Leigh Hopper, who awarded the pathogen as part of her bird flu bumper sticker contest.
Thanks, Leigh!
Giant virus transmitted via U.S. mail…
