    Captain Trips time - Avian flu in humans

    http://www.theage.com.au/technology/...221-1p4mz.html

    Two top scientific journals say they are deciding whether to publish details of a man-made mutant flu virus that could kill billions, after a US government's science advisory committee advised them to withhold key details.
    Keeping in mind avian flu has a kill ratio of 50% in humans at the moment, can you imagine what would happen if it did mutate and went 'public'?

The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
