CDC's Disease Trading Cards

e.Coli trading cardIn association with the Smithsonian, the Centers for Disease Control's Global Health Odyssey Museum is a physical place you can tour. But they have something so weird online that you almost have to see it to believe it: Disease Trading Cards. No, really: there are three sets to download, print, and trade with your friends! Offer to trade your Campylobacter jejuni for a Strep A Infection -- all the cards are richly illustrated (don't look at the site while eating) and explained. Definitely bizarre, and a great example of "You really can find anything on the Internet."
