Fight those...birds?

The weekend's been fairly busy what with Liverpool beating Man Utd for the first time in 85 years in the FA Cup, working on the introduction to a dissertation proposal which seems to be taking far longer than it should, and watching a brilliant, almost non-linear and quite amusing film (which was apparently "postmodern before there was any modern to be post about") but I did have time to read this.

Notice how Christian mentions "We are on a war footing now"...I'm sure those birds (well, one bird so far) are trembling with fear at the thought of the French being at war with them. But, wait, have the French actually ever won any war?

Readers will probably also appreciate the headline of the French newspaper, which said "No panic--yet"

E, you'd better write your dissertation faster!

Yeah, yeah, I know.

I've been meaning to post something on the interactions between disease and war--maybe I'll go ahead and do that.
