Ok, so it's summertime. It's about 90^ here in Dallas. And that isn't as hot as it's going to get. What I don't get is why do I have a cold in the middle of summer? I think we shouldn't say I have a "cold". We should say I have a "warm" or something. Usually people get them in winter and thus it's appropriate, but summer it's not. I think being warm is actually good for a cold. You know, all bundled up, clearing up congestion. Then when a cold gets worse we call it the "flu". Who comes up with these? I know I don't feel like flying, or like an opening on an oven. Maybe it's because your supposed to get fluids when your sick. I think the origin goes like this: Sick Guy One,"My cold is getting worse, what do you think I need to take for it?" Sick Guy Two "flu..." drops over dead. And thus that is how the word flu came to be. Maybe a better word would be "frozens" to go with the word cold or "melted" to go with the word warm. I like "melted." It sounds cool. If you die of it, it would sound better as well. "Doc what'd he die of?" "Oh, he was melted." Heh, maybe not...
