Flu news out of China... The avian flu has turned into a more deadly strain within the migrating wild bird population, killing 6% of a large bird santuary. This new strain affects previously unaffected bird species and in a lab it'll kill a chicken in 20 hours and a mouse in 3 days. The migrating birds are expected to begin their seasonal migration soon, fanning out among China, Thailand, India and Pakistan. Scientists are using language such as "far exceeds" deadliness of other strains and "highly pathogenic".
On the good news front, JD Fortune has survived round one of Rockstar:INXS. JD is the clear winner, the others are either chicks, which wouldn't work for INXS or they're too much into themselves. JD's rags to rags story is irresistable as are his cryptic t-shirts and Billy Joe Armstrong-likeness. Go JD!
