Nothing, the surviving 50% could come and live in Europe, but Africa has less existing infrastructure and isn't a lot of use for anything else so it makes sense to use it as the cull zone.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' -

Have the vaccine available to anyone, but package in something that requires intelligence to open. E.g. 10 seconds to open a 100% plastic blister pack before the content spoils.

I read of a neat way of opening cans the other day. Probably most people when confronted with a can and no conventional opener would proceed to smash it with a rock or something and risk pulping or losing the contents. Or seek a can opener. But there's an other way. You rub the end (not sure which end) vigorously against a flat concrete surface, which quickly erodes the lip exposing a weld where the lid is joined to the can. About a minute of vigorous rubbing does it I gather. Almost quicker than going to the kitchen for a can opener.Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostThat would be me flipped - Takes me 30 seconds to open a Sainsburys sandwich
