            Swine

            Swine takes the same form for singular and plural.

            However it seems that petty grammatical points like that may soon become irrelevant, as we all die off except for the lucky few left behind to play Survivors

              On the contrary, in a post-holocaust world it's more important than ever to maintain standards.

              I wouldn't go anywhere without all 20 volumes of the OED (plus supplements) carried by a couple of mules, in case anyone needs to check just such a usage as this.

                  So far, pigs been affected by the virus, but the EU has still declared a ban on the imports of pig products from Mexico.

                  There are now suspect cases in both Switzerland and the Netherlands

                    Didn't they sat that birdflu would kill off most of us and then Sars?

                    Both proved to be damp squids : when are we going to get a decent killer virus?
