Catching Bird Flu on the Internet…

bird flu aggregatorMy earlier post on peace-keeping chickens has shown up on a bird flu aggregator. It’s an ill wind that a Google Adsense entrepeneur doesn’t make an aggregator out of to make a killing on modern paranoia. And I’ll bet that they make an avian killing on this one. It’s dripping with the paraphenalia of paranoia: face masks for your kids, supplements, and, um, DVDs. Which reminds me of a joke I just made up:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Well it couldn’t because the road was full of people who were statistically more likely to die from road traffic accidents than bird flu.
Boom boom. Buck boock.

I especially love this:

I find this really reassuring: the guy is smiling the whole way through his life, right up to the end. You’re born, you live, then you die. So why worry?

So don’t worry. Just keep smiling and waving.
