Mexico is the clear winner here:

Israel must call new disease Mexico Flu, as swine unkosher
by the Associated Press

Ultra-Orthodox Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman on Monday declared that Israel would call the new potentially deadly disease that has already struck two continents 'Mexico Flu,' rather than 'Swine Flu, as pigs are not kosher.

"We will call it Mexico flu. We won't call it swine flu," Litzman told a news conference on Monday, assuring the Israeli public that authorities were prepared to handle any cases.

Under Jewish dietary laws, pigs are considered unclean and pork is forbidden food, although the non-kosher meat is available in some stores in Israel.
Two cases of suspected swine flu have been detected in Israel, but Health Ministry officials have said chances are low that either hospitalized men has actually contracted the disease.

Both men, one 47 years old and the other 26, were quarantined after checking into hospital with flu-like symptoms upon their return from Mexico this week.

Quick Fix Fail

Cake Wrecks notes several tasty seasonal offerings in this post.

None, as far as I can tell, are kosher for Passover - but they sure have a funny way of showing it.

For instance, what's the fastest way to make your run-of-the-mill (ha!) baked goods into Passover baked goods?

Cake Wrecks' Flickr source explains in two easy steps:

"Step 1: Cross out flour on the ingredients list.

Step 2: Add a star of David."

Speaks for itself.

Hey there, mister! How's your sister? Does her tefillin bag still say "Sh.M.A.K."?

Unleavened Win

Welcome to JewFAIL. First against the wall: Passover.

What could possibly counteract the fantastically crummy powers of matzah? Babies! A couple of YouTube users have already figured this out:




Calendar fail: Here we have a baby grubby-looking enough to distract me from my inadequate snack supply. Its mother, however, mistakes this year's Passover start date (Wednesday night).




Boogie win: These parents earn a double victory. Their baby not only knows how to rock out, but has cleverly devised a use for that infernal Matzah Man.

That just about wraps up the Passover problem. Matzah + babies = win.
