I've been re-reading the Dresden Files this past week. Those suckers are like crack. So good. Staying up until late morning to do so is less great, but almost worth it.

Also, it occurred to me this evening as I filled up my car that if someone ever wanted to unleash some terrible virus or doomsday type thing, gas pump handles would be a perfect place to do so. You'd be pretty much guaranteed to hit most of the general population, and none of us ever have a second thought about grabbing those things. Food for thought.

interesting! i guess i thought it was easier to get a hold of biological warfare components than it apparently is. WHICH IS GOOD. :P

As far as I know, you have to take a while to cultivate the given pathogen/virus/whatever, and it has to be in a clean lab, and needs all sorts of things. Maybe not for every kind, but for a lot of them. The only incident we even know of was those few mailed cases and they were from a disgruntled lab-tech. It's not impossible, but from what I've read it's just a lot more work and planning than most are willing to do.

again, a GOOD thing. xD
