Dolphins learn to sing 'Batman' theme tune", which is about as wrong as it gets. Your tax dollars at work...

For some reason, replies to this post arent showing up. How odd.

*ding dong* Doom calling...

Remember the 1918 Spanish Flu? Neither do I, but apparently it turned your lungs to porridge. Now morons clever little scientists have resurrected it in its original deadly form by building it from sequences taken from victims. They're patting themselves on the back for reanimating the extinct deadly disease, which killed 25-50 *million* despite not having modern innovations like air travel, aircon and overpopulation to accelerate it's spread. But dont worry, they're handling it at isolation level two. That's air-fed masks and a sign above the sink that says "remember to wash your hands". Jurassic park, anyone? Twelve monkeys?

I give it a month before it escapes, and a year before anyone admits to it. It should kick in just as the H5N1 bird flu pandemic is at its peak.
