What the heck is that thing?

Last week this equipment showed up in my room for "air quality testing" a.k.a. H1N1 testing.I'm not saying that foreigners are being singled out in the hunt for the flu, but I will note that my room was the only one tested because, "many students go there." I guess the lunchroom doesn't fit that criteria.

Good news though: Dongbu English World is a flu-free zone!

  1. You may be flu free for now but the best is yet to come. I am attending an H1N1 seminar on Friday. We'll compare notes.

  3. Okay, I think it might have a double function and be for measuring gases too...I only mention this because I have known you for so many years. Do you recall the fart house?

  4. The prevention steps being taken in Korea for H1N1 fascinate me no end when compared to our approach here in the US (few visible prevention steps other than the promise of vaccines available next month). No vaccinations planned there? Thanks for the interesting posts! Tim

  5. dude...like it looks like something I had to study in bio 141. It latches onto a healthy cell and pries through the cell wall to release its own RNA (or DNA) and that wiggles on into the nucleous where it uses the cells own replicating powers to make more of itself. It's how virus' are formed...

    dude...is this some form of crazy sabotage?

    it's killing me cause i know what it is called but all i can do is tell you the process. It's freshman bio. Like bio 101..

    Ok, the biologist will remain in her little box and will no longer stretch her thinking into the creative world that Artists guard with red-tipped paint brushes and chisels.
