This was inspired by a spooky
Charles Krauthammer column about a potential new WMD.  Scientists have re-created the deadly 1918 Spanish Flu virus which killed more people than died in World War I.  He quotes New Scientist magazine saying that the rebuilt virus killed more lab mice more quickly than any other flu virus ever tested. Of 117 people already infected by a bird flu now in Asia 60 are dead.

The virus came from birds.  Birds came from Hitchcock.
