Oh, the times in which we live. The geek in me lusts for one of those babies. Then my paranoia kicks in, and I feel as if I might be looking at the ultimate anthrax delivery vehicle….

Anthrax is more of an annoyance than a huge threat anyway.

Dean, I would agree. Especially when you're stocked up with fresh antibiotics...

I read many years ago that some anthrax R&D work carried out by the US was in an attempt to develop a cheap and effective non-lethal weapon. The idea being that it would just incapacitate the enemy for a week or two until the antibiotics kicked in. I have tried to confirm that on the web a few times, but haven’t tracked it down yet. Sounds plausible, but almost too ironic to be true.

Most ironic application of Anthrax I ever saw was a kid wearing a tee-shirt for his favorite metal band while in the cattle barn at State Fair.
