The Complaint Machine

So I just did some poking around on CNN's website regarding the whole pig flu thing.

There have been 12 confirmed deaths in Mexico as a result of this disease. 1 in the United States (a child from Mexico who passed away in a Texas hospital). Another 150 suspected deaths. So let's call it 163 deaths from the swine flu, essentially all in or around the Mexico City area, right?

There are 20 MILLION people in the greater Mexico City area. Let's do some math:

That's the mileage on my odometer, or at least it was when I was driving home yesterday. Even though I'm only responsible for about 60,000 of those miles, it made me think of everything I've been through since I brought my car home on May 1st, 2004:

Just a geek-tacular little something I picked up from the "Wired" website...
