SARS insanity strikes where it may or may not hurt

Jimmy Weasel - Friday, 11 July 2003 - 06:41:38 - print it raw

Experts in the field of finance now have a grasp on the damage expected to be caused by the SARS virus. Despite killing 800 people worldwide, the effect of the virus is still being felt; evidentally by businesses both large and small; seemingly glad to cite such things as reasons for poor performance.

Financial Forecasters have predicted that SARS could damage the Australian economy by up to 1 Billion Dollars. While it seems like a large amount of money, in relative terms, this is 0.13% of Australia's GDP, based on all the latest financial figures.

And somehow it would seem as though any loss or miserable performance will be gladly blamed on this frightful buzzword more often than necessary.

Articles and all that more wordy stuff

Kitchen Antics - Chicken in Faux Ragoƻt
Ladder of flavour? A few rungs above bland. This can be constructed & delivered in less than 30 minutes, depending on your aptitude with a knife.
Lassitude abandons the Throwing Knives
Down on the chamber pot, the percolating smells brew up quite the nasal fest. From the wafting fumes, the air solidifies partial sweaty rock and musty punk, a taste hinting at delicious pockets of after-aftertaste, and the not so floral punch of an undone music interview leaves the tongue wanting something else.
Where in Kentucky - Mammoth Cave National Park
Dark and neverending is the trail of a labyrinth below Edmonson County, Kentucky. Beyond the shallow graves and lime walls, Mammoth Cave is the literal long tail of cave systems. Alas, no minotaurs or woolly mammoths call the caverns home.

Undone, unbound, the sounds aground, life's taking the train with a soundtrack of harmonic dissonance, of inner turmoils and evolutionary spotchecking.
