Well, the Baby Boomers -- the biggest generation ever -- start retiring in serious numbers in 2011. Aged care and products for the elderly are about to become a massive boom industry. We should be using technology to improve the lives of the elderly... not running hospitals with vicious mice infestations.

What point is it for the pigs, of all species, to be practising germ warfare. Can't they get the hell out of the way and let a useful species have a god? I think the chickens deserve another chance at this. And SARS was a sexier name than swine flu. Swine everywhere, for holding back the evolution of truly useful viruses.
