What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Interesting. The Danes are on the Alquida hit list over cartoons, the US is having a similar but smaller outbreak and we know they have worked on bio-weaponology.
Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they are not after you.

Salmonella is a genus of rod-shaped Gram-negative enterobacteria that causes typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and foodborne illness. Salmonella species are motile and produce hydrogen sulfide.

Although it is Denmark, maybe what happened below happened there:

Cannabis contaminated with Salmonella Muenchen was positively correlated with dozens of cases of salmonellosis in 1981
