Don't know if this is just a sick coincidence but....

2007 - Chinese 'Year of the Chicken' - Bird Flu pandemic devastates parts of Asia

2008 - Chinese 'Year of the Horse' - Equine Influenza decimates Australian racing

2009 - Chinese 'Year of the Pig' - Swine Flu Pandemic kills hundreds of pigs around the globe.

Has any one else noticed this?!?

It gets worse........

Next year....

2010 - Chinese 'Year of the Cock' - what could possibly go wrong?
