Does it infect her; or does she infect it?

I've often thought that I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body.
Does it infect her; or does she infect it?
Thanks for the ping!
So you say.
The nano meter is 10^-9 while the Angstrom is 10^-10 so I think Fred's right.
you wrote "He's up for election next year... it'll be interesting to watch from afar."
Chirac? Up for election? Are you completely not paying attention. It is like someone in Europe thinking that Bush is up for election in 2008.
It is a battle between de Villepen and Sarkozy, but Chirac is gone next year.
Somewhere between a virus and a bacteria.
Reminds me of a witticism about Bavarians being the transition between Austrians and Human beings.
The typical virus is 200 nanometers, or 8 millionths of an inch wide and writes its genetic code in either of two molecules: DNA or RNA, but not both.
Mimivirus, however, is more than 400 nanometers wide and has both DNA and RNA. It is so large and complex that researchers had trouble recognizing it as a virus.
It took the French so long to figure it out because they are probably unfamiliar with the concept of the "double-wide," which any American scientist from tornado country can identify in an instant.
This is a very old story, as far as science goes, but this is a very interesting, er...., um.... thing, or "kind" .... or "biological entity".
It was a positively balmy -17 last night.
Heat wave, we're having a heat wave....
LOLOL!!!!
But, it's still a virus...
Escusez-moi. Je ne fais pas attention aux politiques du monde. Either candidate a good choice?
Only the French would name a new virus after their pet poodle.
"Either candidate a good choice?"
de Villepen is moreof the same. Sarkozy is really the best choice. By French standards he is quite conservative (actually they would say liberal, but we won't get into that).
With the exception of his support for the CAP - which if he was against it it would be the quivalent of being against baseball - his policies are to promote les reliance on the state and more on private enterprise. He is askingFrance to change and embrace globalization. He has a tough stand on crime/terrorism.
He is the one that said there is no "French model" because a model is something that benefits people and others want to emulate. With 10% unemployment, France does neither.
At the moment he is strongest candidate.
