Random stuff

In the name of Allah the Most Beneficent the Most Merciful.

Holiday is all about reading random stuff. So happened I saw these, I think they're worth sharing (and revising).

Note: All these are quoted from the Infallible Online Free Encyclopedia aka: _i_ipedia!!!

LOLz. Sorry if you can't appreciate my sense of humor. I know I'm wicked. >.<

1. House fly

Housefly as a vector of disease

Mechanical transmission of organisms on its hairs, mouthparts, vomitus and feces:
- parasitic diseases: cysts of protozoa e.g. Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia and eggs of helminths
   e.g.: Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuros trichura, Haemenolypes nana, Enterobius vermicularis.
- bacterial diseases: typhoid, cholera, dysentery, pyogenic cocci, etc.
   House flies have been demonstrated to be vectors of Campylobacter and E. coli O157:H7 using PCR.
   House flies can be monitored for bacterial pathogens using filter paper spot cards and PCR
- Viruses: enteroviruses: poliomyelitis, viral hepatitis (A & E)..etc.

2. Cocktail

The word cocktail is sometimes used figuratively for a mixture of liquids or other substances. Such a use might be, for example: "120 years of industry have dosed the area's soil with a noxious cocktail of heavy metals and chemical contaminants."

A makeshift incendiary bomb consisting of a bottle of flammable liquid (usually gasoline) with a flaming rag attached is known as a "Molotov cocktail".

Combinations of antiretroviral drugs used as AIDS therapy are frequently referred to "drug cocktails" or "AIDS cocktails."
