a solitary firefly flies at nite
into the darkness an endless flight
a million flashes of delight.

Seriously, if it comes to that, I'll bequeath all my belongings to Daphne DuMaurier's estate. But it won't, I don't think.
Rather, I think China's space prospects look promising.

When you were young and your heart was an open book, you used to say "live and let live."
But if this ever changing world, in which we live in, makes you give in and cry, say "live and let die."

Hmmm...If very few birds can reach it, that probably means very few insects could reach it as well... Assuming this island doesn't have indigenous birds, the flora would be pretty limited on there. Based on that, your food choices would probably be pretty limited due to the small size the island would have to be. Might be better off to contract bird flu...
....Also if it comes to it and everyone in your vacinity starts coming down with Bird Flu do this: Buy a whole stockpile of food and just stay in doors. Get yourself a netflix subscription and let all the carriers die off. Good news: You get to repopulate the human species!

That's Larry Bird. He's been to Los Anegeles, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and a host of other US cities who sport NBA franchises. Great post rickey939.

My g/f asked me about this last night, she was a little panicky.
Its very difficult to catch bird flu from chicken meat, its only really a risk if you handle contaminated live or recently slaughtered chickens.
Cooking the meat properly kills the virus.
This particular strain, the one that is fatal to humans, hasn't mutated to become human to human yet.
Its not the plague yet.

That's not the "bird", I was thinking about.
Wow. I'm old.

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).
