Someone with a bad link?

damn, fixed.

damn, fixed.

And quickly, too. Too bad somebody nervous, like me, wasn't in charge of securing those vials.

 

[TE999]

You know how it is...stuff gets lost, mislaid, incorrectly labled...hey, we're real busy. Give us a break. Now where did those vials of anthrax, bubonic plague and yellow fever get off to? Damn! Do I have to do everything around here?

I saw this.

Stephen King wrote about it.

Superflu and shit.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Man you caught me...I was gonna make me some Dragonlipz but they turned into Buttlipz instead.

If I bring them back tomorrow, minus what I used, will you forgive me?

Superflu and shit.

Read: "The Great Influenza." Not-so-superflu killed 22 million people around 1917-1920. Scary as anything Stephen King could come up with. Started with one guy in Kansas, who was packed into a military barracks with a lot of other guys; got spread to Europe via troop transport ships. Came to be called "Spanish Influenza" because the first major newspaper to risk reporting the bad news was in Spain, but it was Kansas homegrown.

It was unusual flu in that it was as fatal to young adults in their prime as to infants and the elderly.

Nasty business, that influenza.

Good book, though.

Where were we? Oh yes. Zeb was confessing to possession of the missing vials.

These are some kind of equine virus that is fatal in people only one percent of the time. That's good, right?

Stomps the floor.

Where is Shang?

Out with Mr. Ed shopping for nose masks.

Odd that an equine virus is discovered missing at the same time that a bunch of polo ponies kick the bucket.

Many years ago, I inventoried an entire university chemistry department. They gave me a computer printout and said, "Go find all this stuff." So I went from lab to lab to store room to store room looking for everything on the list.
When I had finished, I reported back to my boss, "Uh . . . we seem to be missing something."

"Not surprising, what is it?"

"Uh . . . it's this UC(#######-###) spectrophotometer @ $250,000."

Insert long, dead silence here "Damn." Insert another long, dead silence. "Hmmm . . ." More silence. "You know, I think we might have loaned that one to the Physics Department. Why don't you go to the gym and go down in the basement. There used to be rifle range down there, but the Physics guys took it over. That thing might just be down there."

To make a long story shorter, it was. And the Army is trying to find three little, tiny vials? Good luck!

I thought that too.

But it may have been missing since 2004.

That may well be what made them look, sort of a "speaking of horses, remember that equine..." Anyway, the Army's response, as well as that retired scientists reaction, seems up and up to me.

Just shows the Polo Pony Killer was planning ahead.

Scrutiny in horse deaths falls on vitamins

Was on the previous link a page away.

Horses may have had a reaction to "Vitamins".

No "Polo Pony Killer"? No stolen equine virus?

Oh darn! I thought I was onto a big conspiracy.

I'll bring them back, but only if they agree to waive any overdue fines or late fees.
