# Flu Plague Of 2006 Could Kill Millions. AS Britain reels from the worst
outbreak of influenza in more than a decade, scientists have warned the
next epidemic may kill millions. They fear the virus could mutate into an
even bigger killer than the one which wiped out an estimated 40 million
people in 1918. Bother. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/000111/12/db9j.html
: Are you ready for the next big epidemic? Will it be medical, cyber, or a
combination? With more people & more computers, will plagues be more common?

# No escaping asteroids. (BBC) Whether the Earth will be hit by an asteroid
is a question of when, not if. Put head between legs, kiss ass good-bye:

lately? Do you get nice visual effects? Do you clean up the mess afterwards?

# Sale of radioactive metals canceled. WASHINGTON (AP) - The Energy Dept
retreated from plans to sell thousands of tons of radioactive metal from
its weapons production facilities as scrap, saying the potential health
concerns need to be more clearly examined. The action applies to "volum-
etrically contaminated" scrap metals, mostly nickel, that have radioac-
tivity embedded throughout, and not just on the surface. Really hot shit.
See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2563230640-df5
: What products would you like to make from radioactive metals? What's the
commercial potential? Would they be good for self-powered spacecraft? Eh?

# Tall guys get the girls. (BBC) What vertically-challenged men have always
feared seems to be borne out by scientific research. Women want a tall man
because those extra centimetres suggest he either has good genes or comes
from a wealthy background, new research claims. And I'm only 6'5" short.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_600000/600481.stm
: Do you prefer sex with short/medium/tall men/women/aliens/animals/robots?
Shouldn't natural selection produce increasingly tall humans? Why aren't we
all stilt-people? Are short guys irrelevant, neglected, bitter, dangerous?

# Retailers dropping bio-foods. The USA's 2 largest natural foods retailers
are stripping their shelves of many genetically engineered foods,prompting
manufacturers and supermarkets to keep an eye out for a biotech backlash
among consumers. http://www.usatoday.com/usatonline/20000104/1812168s.htm
# 'Human' GM cow milk plans denied. (BBC) A UK biotech firm denies reports
that it plans to produce commercial baby formula milk from GM cows. Not
us: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/health/newsid_600000/600551.stm
: Do you prefer improved or unimproved foods? Should we all just eat worms?
Will groups that avoid biotech be rendered obsolete, irrelevant, extinct??
# Scientists aim to 'grow' teeth. The ability to grow replacement teeth in
the lab has come a step closer with the discovery of a gene that controls
