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?
For those who don’t realise that this much circulated meme is a joke, I would like to point out the following…
2007 was actually the Chinese year of the Boar
2008 was the Chinese year of the Rat
2009 is the Chinese year of the Ox
2010 will be the Chinese year of the Tiger
So unless you happen to be a tiger and your oxen are suddenly coughing up a lung, I wouldn’t worry too much.
