It seems supremely dumb until you get these parts:

Quote"We understand that, but most people don't have enough knowledge. When they see the pig in the cage they get worried and think that they could get ill," Saqib said.

AND

QuoteShabby and rundown, Kabul Zoo is a far cry from zoos in the developed world, but has nevertheless come a long way since it suffered on the front line of Afghanistan's 1992-4 civil war.

Mujahideen fighters then ate the deer and rabbits and shot dead the zoo's sole elephant. Shells shattered the aquarium.

One fighter climbed into the lion enclosure but was immediately killed by Marjan, the zoo's most famous inhabitant. The man's brother returned the next day and lobbed a hand grenade at the lion leaving him toothless and blind.

Never underestimate the power of stupid.

Guess he couldn't be Lion through his teeth anymore then, could he?

I read that swineflu is just like birdflu except that birdflu requires physical contact to infect and swineflu can be airborn.

They're also similar in that the pandemics caused by both are both reported at 900% of their actual severity.

Afghanistan has sent a reply.  Its in a rather lumpy package though, and the delivery guy ran off pretty quickly....

shortest career dream i have ever had.. :lulz:

They sure don't fuck around in Central Asia.

Also, I have a sore throat.  Clearly this means I should stop sleeping in this pigsty, eating raw pork and never washing my hands.

Shit, I'd better buy my tickets before the panic dies down!

I have a friend who refuses to eat at the Mexican restaurant
:?
yah
I think he thinks its on the menu or something
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

Reminds me of the SARS panic. I had a friend who at the time was going to Reed College (the following got him kicked out and he moved into the household I lived @).

So, my friend decided that while he and his group of 3 or 4 friends were TRIPPING BALLS they would wander the halls of the dorms. They discovered a large open box of surgical masks (mailed from out of country to a couple of chinese students). They proceeded to put them on and wander down the halls in zombie poses moaning "SAAAARS. SAAAAAAARS!!!!!! MONKEYPOX!!!!!!! DEEEAAATH! SARS!".
