It seems that mice with the Bubonic Plague just might have been released in New Jersey. Who needs terrorists when our own government can't keep a lid on the Black Death in Newark?

We're so f@$ked. There are about a TRILLION ways to die, with more added every day. Lets just all get high! (or drunk. Whatever) :D

This article is fairly "meh"...I don't think anyone will catch plague. It's a control issue, as the article stated.

However, the article DOES reaffirm my belief that the CDC is the only government agency thats actually worth the tax-dollars we put into it. They were all over the issue like flies on a carcass.

LOL, the best part was:

"We don't have any indication there's a public health threat," said Von Roebuck, a spokesman for the CDC. "We're basing that on the fact that we've had no reports of the plague in the area."

Thanks. It was either that or "Bring out your Dead!"

You know, I used to have nightmares about this exact thing. It isn't very often that nightmares come true. Today is a special day :)

One's nightmare is someone else's dream and so's the reverse. I find it interesting that they don't seem to be able to account for certain what the hell happened to the three mice. I just hope if they got out, they don't get fleas.

:p

I am choosing not to let my mom know about this article seeing as she is a hypochondriac anyway and will faint at the thought. lol

"But I'm not dead yet"....

Have you been to Newark,NJ lately? It could use a little plague.

Brilliant title :)

"See How They Run" might've worked too ;)

At least it wasn't anywhere important. Do you have any to spare for Corby?
