Here's a SCARY AS ALL HELL article about the bird flu and our impending doom. A pandemic of epic proportions is right around the corner it seems

This article has also been deemed obner-worthy due to it's use of the word "scaremongering."

Mary Poppins sang "Feed the birds, tu'pence a bag', well I sing "Kill the birds, before we all die".

Well, here in NYC, people who work in the skyscrapers have been asked to turn off their lights at night during migrating season since apparently the birds are attracted by the lights and end up hitting the sides of the buildings and die.

Save the birds!

If we're all going to die from an infection, why can't it be something cool like a virus that causes people to develop an appetite for human flesh?

let me get this straight....65 people have died since 2003

65????

See 65 isnt that much, but a small mutation would allow humans to be a better vector for the disease, which would lead to a pandemic

NZ has been running shit scared over this since we're alot closer to the countries it originates in. People are getting immunised, and stocking up on the Tamiflu medication.

Just don't have sex with any birds while you're there. Try humans instead!
