    So far, three women have been called on to ask questions, and I bet 'the list' says "DO NOT CALL ON PETER DOOCEY -- DON'T EVEN LOOK AT HIM!!!!"

    (fourth woman called on)
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Care to wager on whether or not that on the top of every list of names he has there are, in BIG CAPITAL LETTERS, a reminder along the lines of:

      DO NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THESE BEING THE PEOPLE YOU WERE TOLD TO CALL ON -- OR NO ICE CREAM FOR A WEEK

              Glum! My man!

              I've been quoting him (imitating his voice naturally) for years in various situations[1].

              The best was when he moans how "We're all doomed. Doomed" and how they're all going to die. This causes the blonde female to tell him to look on the bright side for once.

              Glum pauses for a moment to reflect, and in that moaning voice... "We'll all die together."

                Still amusing how they skipped the next letter in the Greek alphabet after Nu in naming this one.

                      The WHO said it had skipped them because Nu was too easily confused with “new,” while Xi is a common surname.

                        While its always possible that something like this will mutate to be MORE dangerouns, over the long run we should expect it to go the other way. A virus "wants" to reproduce more, and killing the host is actually counter productive to that. So, you should expect that viral diseases will trend towards high spread ability and low lethality, in order to maximize reproduction.

                          Mu is also a common Asian surname, but they didn't skip it.

                            Apparently more common than Xi.
