Those darn mosquitoes!

Swine Flu

Swine Flu? You don’t think of pigs as dangerous creatures. In Charlotte’s Web, Wilber, the friendly pig, was “Some Pig”. His spider friend did everything to save Wilber from becoming bacon. But as of April 27, 2009, the pig has a flu virus that is killing people.

There are many types of beans: lima beans, kidney beans, navy beans, L.L. Bean, les-beans.
