A good idea from the land of Heavy Metal
ANTHRAX (the band) Vs. ANTHRAX (the disease)
The band Anthrax is changing it's name, possibly to "Basket Full Of Puppies".
I think we should start a campaign to alleviate the fears of the American people.
Lets call anthrax "Fluffy" instead.
It sounds less threatening - no nasty x on the end.
You can pop it into conversation without causing mass-hysteria, or having airline officials pounce on you.
"Hey Fred, how's your case of fluffy doing?"
"Oh not bad Harry, the Cipro has the fluffy under control"
