Deadly Version of Bird Flu Found in Romania
CMan0 writes "The BBC reports that a deadly version of the bird flu has been found in Romania. Several ducks and chickens have died on a farm in Romania this month of the disease, it has been confirmed. It's mentioned that the disease is spreading very rapidly, as the last known location of the disease was Siberia, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan in August and the 1st of October in Turkey." From the article: "People appear dazed by what is happening, but since it was confirmed that this is the strain of the bird flu virus found in Asia, they have begun co-operating closely with officials sent to collect their birds, our correspondent says. Turkey has already reported the discovery of the lethal strain of the virus among birds in the west of the country. The EU has banned imports of live birds and poultry products from Romania and Turkey. EU veterinary experts said on Friday that the bird flu outbreak did not represent a risk to the general public 'at present'."
First famine.
Then Tsunami.
Then Flood and earthquake.
Now a plauge.
Which part of the bible is this again?
Ladies and gentlemen, we are awaiting the appearance of Chicken Little for her weekly news statement...... hold on..... word has just been released..... Chicken Little has been destroyed to prevent the spread of the avian flu after her recent visit to Romania. Perhaps this time the sky really is falling.
As much as I hate to hear about these things, I cant help but think "Oh no I just had a BIRD FLU over my house..." ah.. ahaha.. hehe... argh.. OK! I'll shut up! But it was funny last night when I was at the bar.
I guess that will heavily affect RFC2549 services - IP over avian carrier.
You should have invested in a missile defense system like we did here in the US. I imagine the missle defense will be useful to keep the migratory birds out of the continental US.
And All I Ask is a Tall Ship And a Star to Steer Her By
Turkey has the bird flu?
/thats all I have. Not very good after all.
Not mentioned in the article is how the flu is actually turning birds into vampires. Seriously.

Very convenient for those that think the end is near. They always think the end is near. The end has never been near.
... then we doom and gloomers will be right there to say "told you so!"
You just wait another 4 billion years pal! The sun is going to go ape shit and swallow the earth in a blaze of superheated plasma
Is it true? Let's nuke the sun.

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Human community when CDC confirmed that the Human population has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of its all time high, since the avian influenza pandemic. Coming on the heels of a recent UN survey which plainly states that Humanity has lost more population, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Humanity is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent United Nations comprehensive population count.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Humanity's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Humanity faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Humanity because Humanity is dying. Things are looking very bad for Humanity. As many of us are already aware, Humanity continues to lose. Blood flows like a river of red ink.
First world populations are the most endangered of them all, having lost 98% of their population. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time World leaders Toni Blair and Vladimir Putin only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Humanity is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
United States leader George Bush states that were about 6.5 billion humans on Earth. How many Humans are there? Let's see. Before the Pandemic the number of Humans versus Troll posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 6.5 billion/5 = 1.3 billion Trolls. Troll posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of Slashdots posts. Therefore there are about 2.6 billion Trolls on Slashdot. A recent count revealed 2 Troll posts for every Human post. Therefore there must now be (2.6 billion/5 = .5 billion) Humans left
Due to the troubles of Washington, abysmal reproduction and so on, Humanity went out of business and was taken over by other primates who produce another troubled organism. Now Humanity is almost dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that Humanity has steadily declined in population share. Humanity is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Humanity is to survive at all it will be among organism dilettante dabblers. Humanity continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Humanity is dead.
Fact: Humanity is dying
Also, with migratory ducks and swallows (of the laden variety), we're going to see this all over europe in the coming weeks.
This raises the question: African or European Swallows?
Netbooks, they come with Linux or a $3 copy of Windows. Either way, Microsoft loses.
I am from the Ukraine, and I will tell you the infected chickens have killed the government and taken over completely. The farmers cower in fear, drowning their sorrows with vwrzsqqzx (Ukrainian ether) and qxzytwzy (Ukranian crack cocaine). As we speak, the chickens are massing like war planes on huge fields, ready to rain their infected droppings on countries to the West.
