Here is another boring topic for us to ponder. Does anyone have anything to say about this?


The Asian "bird flu" is spreading.

Investigators from Russia's Ministry of Agriculture have confirmed that the deadly H5N1 virus that has already spread to humans (killing some of them) in an alarming number of cases in Asia, has now killed hundreds of birds in one section of the former Soviet Union. According to the AP, in just the last few weeks, hundreds of chickens, turkeys, geese, and ducks have perished in the lake-filled Novosibirsk region of Siberia.
