I wonder...

...if the entire human race were to drop dead tomorrow of Bird Flu, how long it would be before there were no visible signs that we'd ever existed?

They do? 3 billion deaths would be just about the best thing that could happen to the planet. So long as one of them isn't mine.

Black plague saw off half the population of Europe, and while they didn't have antibiotics and quarantine (and MRSA...) they also didn't live in such close quarters.

If bird flu reaches these shores, I've told the guy I share an office with that I shall be garotting him simply to ensure that I am not the 50% of our office population who dies.

I think I'll just work at home instead. Exterminating half of our open plan office would just be too much effort.

I thought the plague only killed off a quarter of you lot. ;-)
