We're all gonna die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ELEVENTY!!!
http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2012/07/chicken-vaccines-combine-to-prod.html?ref=hp
Vaccines aren't supposed to cause disease. But that appears to be what's happening on Australian farms. Scientists have found that two virus strains used to vaccinate chickens there may have recombined to form a virus that is sickening and killing the animals. "This shows that recombination of such strains can happen and people need to think about it," says Glenn Browning, a veterinary microbiologist at the University of Melbourne, Parkville, in Australia and one of the co-authors on the paper.
Most disappointing is that the scientists do not address at all the question of whether or not deep-fat frying kills these virii. Someone ought to apply for a grant to go to Australia and do the research.
stay safe.

Will this discovery lead to the creation of "The Blob?" -- and what will we do without Steve McQueen to end its destruction and mayhem? [tinfoil] [popcorn]

Sounds like they need a another virus to innoculate the chickens against this one.

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature! >:D

Holy crap! Ya'll are totally missing the best part! We have a brilliant movie on our hands here!
What happens when you cross The Birds with Dawn of the Dead?

And since they are starting in Oz, won't they need sharks with lasers in their heads to ride across the ocean?
stay safe.

Fast or slow zombie chickens?

Zombies or not, chickens are hard to catch. On Diego Garcia, the Brits would have one day a year they would let people catch and kill their subjects, the chickens. They were basically feral chickens, if there is such a thing, and very hard to catch. They Filipino workers there were pretty good at catching the things, the sailors, not so good. No weapons were allowed to be used, I would assume in the case of a zombie chicken invasion, shotguns would be the order of the day. ;)

How about a wire coathanger?

Fortunately, some of us remember the movie. We'll just break out the CO2 fire extinguishers and chill out the blob.
Of course, the final solution of dumping it at the north pole won't be effective because, as we are informed daily, thanks to GLOBAL WARMING! the poles are going to melt in 7 months, 23 days, 4 hours and 17 seconds anyway, whereupon the blob will be free to blob its way back amongst us.

Kurt Russell is still alive....
But hardly likely to pass (successfully) as a teen-ager.
Justin Beiber, action here? :barf:

Just mentioning that name loses you a man card. Especially doing so in a thread with so much awesome. Maybe you should lose two.... Pay up.

Is nobody going to go for the obvious punchline? (I am disappoint)

Actually, they kinda are. =|
We should probably find the anti-vaccine web forums, and see how much fun they're having with this. :lol:

Probably not having a lot of fun, unless of course they can find out the vaccine causes autistic chickens! =|
