Watching Canada vs USA https://onhockey.tv/

Multiple players are either unable to play due to illness or playing ill... one player had to pull out due to shoulder infection ... he was in hospital on IV drip for 4 days....

Throughout the tournament quite a few players missed games due to illness..

I have never seen anything like this... in fact I cannot ever remember a player missing a game in a high level series due to illness....

They are all vaxxed... they all have damaged immune systems

It would be kinda cool given the profile of this final game if someone would drop dead

ME: There is some kind of rule about mankind being six meals away from savagery or something like that.

COPILOT: You're referring to a concept often attributed to Lord John Boyd Orr, a Nobel Peace Prize-winning Scottish physician and biologist. The idea is summarized by the phrase "Civilization is only nine meals away from anarchy." This phrase suggests that if people miss three days' worth of meals, or roughly nine meals, the thin veneer of civilization can quickly crumble, leading to chaos and disorder as people become increasingly desperate to survive.

This concept highlights the importance of food security and the fragile nature of societal stability. It's a sobering reminder of how quickly things can change in times of crisis.

- Starving Japanese soldiers in the South Pacific killing and eating a downed Australian airman. "His liver was especially tasty" remarked Masanobu Tsuji, Bataan Death March officer, later elected to the Japanese Parliament. Tsuji was on some kind of mission in Laos in 1961 and went POOF, never to be seen again. Probably working for the NVA.

- Chinese families swapping babies to cook and eat during the mass starvation of the Great Leap Forward (almost impossible to type this out). They would not be able to force themselves to eat their own offspring but dined on someone else's.

- MY PERSONAL FAVE: When Michael Rockefeller's small boat capsized off Dutch New Guinea in 1961, he swam to shore and soon disappeared. The family sent a discreet search party roaming through the highlands but there were only rumors about a young white man who had passed through.

In one village the American party sat down with a kindly elder, and gently questioned the old man about any possibility of having seen or heard of young Rockefeller.

The withered old fellow spoke softly, smiled, looking a bit puzzled, and shook his head.

He was wearing Michael's glasses.
