Missing Lab Mice Infected With Plague

Posted by Zonk on from the who-wants-bubons-i-do-i-do dept.

Buford C Nuzzle-Chunks writes "PhysOrg is reporting that 'The FBI and New Jersey officials have started a hushed but intensive search for three missing lab mice reportedly infected with deadly strains of plague'. The Washington Post says it's not that big a deal, but I was dismayed at the PhysOrg article's quote from Richard Ebright, a Rutgers University microbiologist, about certain federal bio-terrorism labs: 'You have more security at a McDonald's than at some of these facilities.'"

    Sorry, there's no two ways around it: New Jersey is a brutally ugly, ill-mannered and poorly administered state. Its highways are confusingly engineered with tolls everywhere. The landscape is hideously ugly, flat, and polluted. The so-called "nice parts" are ruined by tacky, cheap pseudo-mansions. Physically beautiful areas (such as the overlook toward Manhattan in Hoboken) are ruined by horrible, putrid homes and thoughtless condo high-rises. And then, there are the people who caused all this...don't even get me started.
