Chocolate offers 'significant protection' against swine flu
I read it on the Internet, so it must be true! Now if you will excuse me, it is time for my hourly immunization.

8. I can only fit so many chocolate choco-chip muffins in my stomach at once
Sure, I'm a bear, but even I have my limits.

4. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is the best news I've heard in months!!!
I am going to Whole Foods tonight and loading up on my favorite organic dark.

6. I figured this would be good news; that's why I posted it
Some days, you just gotta laugh. And if there is chocolate involved, the laughter is that much sweeter. :hi:

5. Fortify yourself with stout liquids, like Guinness Stout, Old Dominion Oak Barrel Stout,
Cooper Extra Stout, and Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout.

20. I just started a daily regimen
thanks for the heads up, TechBear!

Hopefully next you'll tell me red wine will also fight it! I wouldn't mind starting up on that daily, either! :)

21. It's going to attack you while you sleep
You do realise that bed bugs, dust mites and the tooth fairy are all known carriers, don't you?

Unless you're hyper-vigilant, and wake every hour to scoff a bit more choccy.
