The Ug99 fungus, called stem rust, could wipe out more than 80% of the world's wheat as it spreads from Africa, scientists fear. The race is on to breed resistant plants before it reaches the U.S.

First Swine Flu, and now this? Eh, who knows, it might not become a real problem until 2012 nears.

That's really no good news, but let's hope science can somehow fiddle with this.

Limitless ideas I see. Big deal. What's next? Beans? Tomatoes? Cows?

Frogs? Ah yes, we don't chemically abuse frogs to eat them, sorry, I was overwhelmed by our insatiable appetite.

At least Las Vegas has alot of hispanic people, we can replace bread with corn tortillas. I prefer flour tortillas, but corn can be made to taste better than normal by some select few restaraunts.

Honestly, we should be starved to death by now.
1. No Steak --- Mad Cow Disease
2. No Vegetables --- Pesticides, Insecticides, etc.
3. No Chicken --- Bird Flu
4. No Pork --- Swine Flu
5. No Bread --- Stem Rust

All that really leaves is...chocolate...hmm...maybe the end of the world ain't so bad ;)
