Is this moron talking about counterfeiting paper US bills? If so he knows very little about the make-up of our paper currency.

[HiTech RedNeck]

They don't have to make counterfeit money for this purpose. Nor do they have to work with it outside the USA.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Germs.

[Lion's Cub]

Actually, I seriously doubt that. Even in biological warfare, you want to maintain some kind of control. Creating an epidemic with something like currency means you could lose any or most of your sleepers.

Aside from that, I'm not sure how easy it would be to get powerful enough germs to stick to the currency. In addition, you'd have no control over the other organisms that naturally wind up on the money--and some organisms are natural killers of others.

I wouldn't say it could never happen--just that it wouldn't be a particularly good method for reaching a targeted population.

[HiTech RedNeck]

We really don't know.

If such a thing happened, banks and cashiers would be among the first to be afflicted, like post offices and mailrooms were with the anthrax attacks. They deal with lots and lots of cash.

I agree-but there's a catch 22 there. They also deal with lots and lots of people. The question facing an epidemiologist would be did the bank personnel and all the cashiers get sick because of their extensive contact with the public, or did the public get sick because of their contact with the bank personnel and cashiers? Did the cash contaminate the victims, or did the victims contaminate the cash? I'm not sure it would be that easy to make those distinctions...

Great. Of all the things I worry about, now I have to add Assthrax to the list.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Assthrax

Oh God, I almost fell out of my chair........... that is the funniest thing I've read in a long time.............. LOL

[NeoCaveman]

Well you set that up perfectly with the toilet paper comment.

[Cagey]

Assthrax

Hahahahahaha! That is hillarious, dubya.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Maybe we should take our act on the road?

[NeoCaveman]

Maybe we should

[COB1]

ASSTHRAX!

LOL!

Good one, dubya!

I wonder where we'd have to be innoculated for that disease?

[NeoCaveman]

I wonder where we'd have to be innoculated for that disease?

I figure they'll be coming out with Cipro suppositories....

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Cob -- OUCH! Thanks for that visual..........

dubya - you are on a roll today........

[another cricket]
