moonwalking and flu

From Bryan this afternoon, a youtube clip of a traffic cop dancing as he works. A little further research turns up that this guy, 54 years old, just works random moves into his 7 hour-long shifts in hope of making drivers smile. So many questions regarding this: does he wear earphones ever? How is he not a massive driving distraction?

That's kind of a goal, as i was telling Holly and Bryan this afternoon. i'd like to get good enough at moonwalking to just randomly insert it into my daily locomotive patterns; i think it'd be fun. Not the most dignified, but that was never a goal. Also, i've caught myself describing the motion associated with crosscountry skiing as reverse moonwalking. i may be obsessed.

For those of us following the influenza paper trail thing, Nature has a note out from the researchers about self-imposed 60-day moratorium on the work.
Also flu but not related to that work, this amusing blog post from NPR, musing about a virus-related fantasy league.
