Irish spell it "whiskey", as you did.WanderingBiscuits said:
The Scots spell it "whisky", and the Americans use both interchangeably.
This is a generalisation, of course...
Cashews need to be boiled twice before eating, otherwise they're poisonous. Also, while boiling, they put off vapors that can blind you.
Which begs the question, why on earth was a group that interested in eating a nut that had to kill at least two people and blind one before they figured out how to prepare them?

A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.
A group of crows is called a murder. A group of ravens is called an unkindly. A group of doves is called a flight.

When you put a sea shell to your ear... its not actually the sound of the sea...
Its the sound of reality slowly tearing at the seems.

The only bone that sits freely in a human body is the Hyoid (its not connected to anything basically).
The Pittsburgh Penguins have the longest winning streak in the NHL at 17 games (started with Boston, ended in New Jersey).
The Patriots have the longest winning streak (in both regular season and playoff games) at 21 games (ended by the Pittsburgh Steelers [who also have hte most super bowl rings, at 6 {currently}]) but only the Miami Dolphins have had a perfect season.
However, the pittsburgh pirates were (and sometimes still are) considered the worst time in the history of Sports, losing 18 (yes, you read that right, 18) consecutive seasons.
Pittsburgh was also the first to use an emoticon, in 1982. it was
And in 2006, it was stated as having the most bridges in the world in one city.
Hometown pride.

Fictional virology time!
I need to get out more...
The green flu mutates on a nearly daily basis, making it insanely difficult to create any sort of vaccine or even properly make quarantine protocols for.
The rage virus originated from attempting to create an anger inhibiting virus using ebola as the basis. I assume at some point they thought of trying to make it non lethal, not that it matters because during primate testing they found it had the opposite effect.
I'm not quite sure how it works, but the necromorphs method of infection is very clever. The suicidal/homicidal tendencies caused by the marker makes sure there are plenty of bodies for the space bats to take over, creating a large "first wave" of necromorphs to overwhelm any resistance.
The t virus can have different effects based on transmission method. One file in resi 1 indicates the tyrant as a result of pure t-virus inject directly into the flesh. Presumably, other test subjects were infected perhaps via an airborne infection, as the t-virus does have a short lived airborne effect after release. Zombie bites probably do not contain a pure enough form of the virus to cause tyrant mutations. Resi games would be a hell of a lot harder if they did.
