Internet Zombie

A person who is in need of sleep who is mindlessly surfing the Internet. Usually an insomniac who gave up tossing and turning in bed and who turned on the computer to have something to do.
I have got to see my doctor about stronger sleeping pills. I was up all night doing the Internet Zombie thing. Gosh, I think I bought four or five things last night but I won't even know what they are until they arrive in the mail.

Sichuan Sheet

Named after the region in China where H5N1 Bird Flu crossed over into all manner of animals (and humans) and killed them after an outbreak at Qinghai Lakes.

When that happened, the Chinese tried to cover it up by claiming it was "Streptococcus Suis" a (mild bacterial infection that usually does not kill) To honor their "SS" the term "Sichuan Sheet" was coined to highlight the coverup attempt. A sheet is a thin coverup that can be seen through.

Sichuan Sheet is the highly lethal post Qinghai Lakes strain of Bird Flu that is killing humans to the west and south of China.
Those people in Turkey and Iraq are all dying of Sichuan Sheet. When are they going to get a vaccine?
