Legionnaires Disease
Actually it was a Legion convention, held in Philadelphia, after which quite
a few individuals got sick (some died). The little critters were living in
the A/C system.

As to the legionaire's issue:The desease got it's name from an
American Legion Post down wind from a cooling tower which bred the
bacteria which causes the desease.Several of those whom frequented the
post contracted the desease and died , hence the name.
