This is how the Zombie Apocalypse Begins...

Yeah, my biggest worry infection-wise is not some Cro-magnon superbug, because those would probably have wiped us out back then if they were that dangerous. It's the GM stuff being engineered in labs for "research" that some idiot will unleash through either negligence or malice. Read up on Ebola Reston if you want to know how close we've come already. Parvo virus in dogs is another example. It was being researched as a way to control the dingo populations in Australia when it escaped the lab and killed hundreds of thousands of dogs worldwide within a couple of years. Ebola in its native form is pretty nasty, but if it had a longer burn cycle(say 3-7 day incubation while contagious before symptoms manifest) it would be a civilization ender.

Soon as someone converts hallucinogenic drugs to airborne pathogens you can kiss your ass goodbye.

Batman Begins. Done.

You'd better believe it. For any of you guys that didn't see it, you should really check out Contagion. That was a terrific movie, in my opinion.

The movie Contagion was very close to a real life scenario. little late

I also suggest folks read, The Hot Zone.. Forget the dustin hoffman movie, Based loosely on the book. Read the book.

If by terrific you mean terrifying... I concur. I liked it, but damn, like Kazoo says, very close to RL... a little too close.
