Top Reasons You Wouldn't Want a Mobile Biological Weapons Lab

Not only did Bush and Cheney and Libby tell bare-faced lies about the alleged "mobile biological weapons labs" in Iraq, the idea of such never made any sense anyway.

1. How could you have a clean room in a mobile biological weapons laboratory?

2. Petrie dishes might vibrate off the table.

3. Germs might get carsick. Now that's something you don't want to have to clean up.

4. Biologists keep pulling up at the drive-through at McDonald's.

5. What if you hit a big bump while working on the plague?

Pretty scary stuff how the Bush Administration is twisting facts again to go to war. Also there is an interesting comment on the comment page from someone in Iran.

The iranians are sane people just like us with a crazy leader who got voted in using knee-jerk issues.

4. no storage! and you had better hope that your technicians were short

(yeah, I know, tiny microbiologists) -- because working in cramped conditions like that would really be painful. (One zoologist I know has permanent back problems after spending hours hunched over in his VW bus, sorting water beetles.)
