The Pentagon has admitted shipping live anthrax spores to labs in as many as nine states and one foreign country. The labs were expecting to receive dead spores. The spores were shipped via a commercial carrier.

narrowed gaze is first sign of exposure.

It starts with a slight fever and dryness of the throat. When the virus penetrates the red blood cells, the victim becomes dizzy, begins to experience an itchy rash, then the poison goes to work on the central nervous system, severe muscle spasms followed by the inevitable drooling.
At this point, the entire digestive system collapses accompanied by uncontrollable flatulence
Until finally, the poor bastard is reduced to a quivering wasted piece of jelly.

Then, the Anthrax Live album is more dangerous than we previously thought..

[straffinrun]

So you're saying my wife puts ground anthrax live albums in my dinner every night? I wake up feeling fine though.

In other words, it's kinda like turning 50.

Apparently, Canada and Australia are among those 9 states.. Oooops, indeed..

[Charles Easterly]

"The states, according to a Pentagon statement, are California, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Ohio and North Carolina. The three countries are Australia, Canada and South Korea."

"Live samples of anthrax were shipped from a military lab to 51 other laboratories in 17 states, the District of Columbia and three foreign countries, Pentagon officials said Wednesday....

'We expect this number may rise,' Work said."

"Hey everyone, look what DoD sent us!"

[Charles Easterly]

Would you look at that? It's a Major Award from the DoD!

[Fist of Etiquette]

It's an anthrax state of mind.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

I have new idea for a candy.

S'Pores.

[Libertarian]

Sorry, you didn't meet the deadline

[Libertarian]

Sent via "commercial carrier" eh? The progs will be blaming freemarket capitalism for this one.

[WTF]

Any government failure will be blamed on free market capitalism, the solution to which is more government.

[sarcasmic]

It's called "progress."

[Scruffy Nerfherder]

Alt-text fail. C'mon people!

[Swiss Servator, Nierezeit!]

"Looks anthrax safe to me!"

Now I'm wishing I finished my anthrax vaccine series. . . Nope. Still glad I didn't.
