    First you inhale the bacteria, but it has to be from someone that's in the active stage. And then the spirochete screw themselves into your lungs and withdraw into their shells to hide out from antibodies, and then they lie in wait. And then one day, maybe a week later and maybe years down the road, BOOM you have tuberculosis. And then you're quarantined and put on 4 different kinds of antibiotics which are Rifampin, INH, Pyrazinamide, Streptomycin and maybe Mayambutol, depending, for up to 18 months, also depending. Or, they can cause large masses that show up on an xray looking like lung cancer, and then when they do a biopsy they realize it's infectious material. And then once your PPD is positive, it's positive for life, meaning if you're in the healthcare profession, they have to do a chest xray every year rather than a PPD, because, well, it'd be positive.

    Mycobacterium aren't spirochetes, they're bacilli.

    in france, do they call french fries just fries?


    or is it chips?

    wait... that's england, right? what do they call chips? crisps?

    does america have something called "crisps?" i feel like we do.

    In France, since they speak French, they call them frites. So neither.

    holy **** they speak French in France? Are other people aware of this? Man... mind BLOWN.


    I thought it was obvious that I was asking about the translation of the word they use to the words we use. For example, they don't say the word "hello," but they say a word that means "hello" (salut).

    I apologize for the confusion and the dripping sarcasm.

    It's still neither. They don't call them that. Our translation is fries, but that's not what they're called.


    Good job being a jack *kitten* though.

    I figure if you're going to do something. Do it well.

    So, thank you.

    If random food items taste like chicken, what exactly does chicken taste like?

    Along the same lines, if something tastes like chicken, why not just order chicken?

    The Earth's fate: giant meteor, swallowed by the sun, nuclear catastrophe, or __?__. We are all screwed (or our future ancestors are all screwed), and intelligent life is so trivial in the big picture. Need to start building a functional replica of the Millennium Falcon in my garage...

    On Sesame Street, for some reason, I always thought Telly and Elmo were related until I started watching regularly with my boy.

    My coworkers does not match today but she thinks she looks super trendy. It's a problem that arises when young girls move to NYC from outlying areas and try too hard.

    Sometimes I wish I could shoot people wearing bad outfits with a small painless paint gun to make sure they never wear that combination again. The horrors of public transportation.
