TALES FROM THE CRYPT!

Samples from mummies in a Hungarian crypt have revealed that multiple tuberculosis strains derived from a single Roman ancestor that circulated in 18th-century Europe, scientists said Tuesday.Their findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, drew on a remarkable, if gruesome, source.

In 1994, workers restoring a Dominican church in Vac, Hungary, stumbled upon the remains of more than 200 people whose corpses had become naturally mummified. The individuals, many of them wealthy Catholics, had been placed fully clothed in coffins in the church crypt just north of the capital Budapest between 1731 and 1838. All the samples studied carried a genetic signature of a notorious tuberculosis strain called Lineage 4, which today accounts for more than a million TB cases every year in Europe and the Americas. By building a family tree of the germ, the team dated the bacterial ancestor to the late Roman period. "(It) confirmed the genotypic continuity of an infection that has ravaged the heart of Europe since prehistoric times." Now, reheat your pizza and think pleasant thoughts when cracking another craft beer open; thankful you weren't a dim witted peasant employed as a 18th century body snatcher.

THE PERSIAN KNIGHT'S TALE...

Being that Fly-Open-Bill Clinton's North Korean no-nuke deal was such a screaming success, y'all can sleep easy with Barry-O's updated Iranian version.

NEARLY 4000 NEW ISRAELI PATENTS!

With nearly 4000 new Israeli patents, here's just a taste of what's coming soon to a pharmacy near you in the field of meds.
Israeli biotech SynVaccine is developing safe synthetic vaccines from the recipient’s own tissue cells, which the body’s immune system can easily recognize and build protection.  In addition, SynVaccine’s computer-engineered vaccines cannot release the original virus. Treatment to stop pain.  Israel’s Teva has begun a Phase 2b trial of TV-45070 in patients with post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN).  TV-45070 inhibits the sodium channels expressed in the pain-sensing peripheral nervous system and can treat patients with various pain indications, including neuropathic and osteo-arthritis pain.

ISRAEL'S DAVID'S SLING READY!

(Reuters) - A new Israeli air defense system being developed in partnership with the United States has passed advanced tests, the Israeli Defense Ministry said on Wednesday, putting it on course for possible deployment by next year. David's Sling is designed to shoot down rockets with ranges of between 100 km and 200 km (63 miles and 125 miles), aircraft or low-flying cruise missiles. It will thus fill the operational gap between Israel's Iron Dome short-range rocket interceptor and the Arrow ballistic missile interceptor, both already active.

IRAN'S GLOBAL TERROR MAP!

Well past talk-time with Iran's Death Cult suits. The only thing to stop the Ayatollah and his degenerate, apocalyptic band of psychos is to use as many bunker-busters as it takes to end their nuke dreams forever.

TREVOR NOAH TWITTERS, WHINGES & WHINES!

Come on up an' kick some Jew and front bum, bigot!

Trevor Noah, the newly announced host of "The Daily Show," a.k.a the Joe Goebbels Lives Show - rejected the backlash over his graphic tweets targeting Jews and women as an unfair reflection of him and his comedy. "To reduce my views to a handful of jokes that didn't land is not a true reflection of my character, nor my evolution as a comedian," Noah whinged on his Twitter account. Comedy Central - the liberal/lefty/undergraduate teet-suck - came to the wah-wah-ers defense, calling Noah a "provocative" comedian who "spares no one, himself included." Oh, yeah? Do spare us the crap. The South African goy-boy was picked for being a lefty. Stewart the Obama sycophant and self-hater, ass licked and Israel kicked at every opportunity. Ditto will be this imported twat!

KHALED MESHAAL: $2.4 BILLION AND COUNTING!

Hamas' political leader Khaled Meshaal - who's made $2.4 billion out of running Terror Inc from a  five star Gulf hotel - has said that there will be no peace as a result of Israel's elections. Given that the Islamo-fascist Hamas' mission statement is to destroy Israel, we can take his "no peace" as a given. 

Why am I seldom in Gaza? Are you friggin' crazy, or what!
