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

Has anyone else noticed this?

It gets worse........

Next year......

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

well, quite a lot. But not so much if you actually check the Chinese zodiak.

2007 - Pig (not chicken)
2008 - Rat (not horse)
2009 - Cow (not pig)
2010 - Tiger (not Cock - but what you posted was I am afraid).
