    It just looks like a bunch of randomly-placed blue balls on an otherwordly landscape.

    Definitely worth the trouble. :)

    Fotografen Lennart Nilsson har försökt i över ett halvår att få tag på viruset H5N1 som orsakar den dödliga fågelinfluensan. Men det har varit mycket svårt.

    This translates to: "We're fucked."

    They get everywhere. Even when you're minding your own business in the bloodstream of a duck, they'll STILL manage to track you down and take pictures with those really powerful telephoto lenses.
