If I were a bio-terrorist, I think my next project would be to engineer a fish flu, hoping to enormously build on the damage to the human food supply caused by bird flu. (I am a fiction writer, and neither a bio-terrorist nor a genetic engineer, so no worries. Plus, I rather like fish. Even as I type, Jackie is making salmon burgers.)

@philipbrewer You’re scaring me, Philip! I love fish.
@odd Oh, me too! I didn’t as a boy—I’d occasionally eat very mild fish, like tilapia, orange roughy, or catfish. But then I discovered salmon. Yum!
@philipbrewer I really like salmon, but it gives me the runs, so I’m not eating it. But I love cod, haddock, halibut and other white fish.
