The Laughing Wolf

Yeah, that bird flu stuff is crazy. In fact, the way people are acting is. From a biological point of view, all they are doing, all they are saying, all the money they are spending is totally useless and I wonder why no one just f*cking tells em to chill. In northern Germany, they really thought they would be able to stop the virus from getting from the island Ruegen to the mainland. Hello! This stuff is spread by birds, birds will not stay there just to make people happy. The media really seemed surprised when it suddenly appeared in France. Politicians and the general public have no idea what this is all about, and there's a lot of panicking going on. Any spot they find a dead bird, they declare it a prohibited area instead of just removing the bird for God's sake. People are only allowed in that area wearing full-body protective suits. Then they are desinfecting the whole area with formic acid... jolly fun. Completely bonkers. Sometimes I really wonder if people have nothing else to do...

Avian flu has hit peanut butter? Say it ain't so!

I too much prefer the Southern foie gras (aka peanut butter) to the pureed livers of overstuffed geese, but to each....

Thank God Guinness isn't made from birds :-)
