ATHENS (Reuters) - A bus driver shuttling pupils to school in northern Greece shocked their parents when he put on a porn tape, say officials.

Irene Slatest, 41, has been wearing basically the same uniform since her 20s: "I'm all about the low-cut (tops), the 3-inch heels, the tight clothes."

So she finished making eggs in heels.

"None of the western countries can live with Iran having a nuclear capability," he told reporters.

The history of humanity is inseparable from the history of epidemics

Specialists distinguish outbursts of serious infectious diseases into pandemics and epidemics. Millions of people may die all over the world as a result of a pandemic, whereas an epidemic is of a smaller scale.

Several large-scale pandemics have been registered in the history of the human civilization. The majority of them were of zoonotic character, when people caught diseases from animals. Smallpox, diphtheria, flu and TB are the diseases that carry a global danger.
