We're all going to die by 2013

Biological terror attack likely by 2013, panel says

Terrorists are likely to use a weapon of mass destruction somewhere in the world in the next five years, a blue-ribbon panel assembled by Congress has concluded.

They are more likely to use a biological weapon than a nuclear one, the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism said in its report.

The U.S. government "needs to move more aggressively to limit" the spread of biological weapons, the commission said.

The impending financial apocalypse got you down? Worried about how you'll afford to eat or find non cardboard based shelter? Don't worry, you'll be dead from a weaponized version of the AIDSbola pox sometime in the next five years. So you have that going for you. Just toss this prediction on the pile with all the other predictions of imminent terrorist related horrible death. Every five years groups get together to tell us that within the next five years something awful will happen, be it suitcase nukes, regular nukes, monkey pox, chemical attacks, or bio attacks. They're all always coming in.......THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

So I don't know, start praying it comes before the man comes to haul your family off to debtors prison. It doesn't matter anyway, any serious group knows that the Mayans foresaw the world ending in 2012 anyway. You don't even have to worry about 2013, by then Queztlecoatl will have returned, the poles will have reversed, and an asteroid will have smashed our planet to bits all at the same time. What's a case of the monkey sniffles compared to Halley's Comet crashing into the moon? Where's a panel of wizened elders warning about that?
