It seems a lot of people wound up catching something really nasty while at PAX. I keep hearing stories from people suffering from sore throats, sinus problems and headaches. I got a bit of it, but my incredibly masculine immune system is bolstered by the constant flow of tar and carcinogens I ingest. Viruses are terrified of me.
If you've come down with the sickness, click a few of these and call me in the morning. Conversely, if you're listening to "Down with the Sickness," I'm sorry. I don't think there's a cure for what you have.

Is there any way to get that Diablo 3 MP3 without iTunes?
Sorry to those who have the cruds... I hope you get well soon.
There's no proof of that.
Proof or no, Airborne's always helped speed up, and ward off, any sickness I've gotten in recent years. If you just look at what's inside it, it certainly has to help a little, at least.
As far as I'm aware,you have to have iTunes. It's only a matter of time before somebody encodes it to MP3 though, so just watch around for it.
