The poultry disease in the Netherlands is out of control imho. Last week a veterinarian died of fowl-pest related pneumonia. The authorities are trying to create a 'fire-wall' 10 kilometers wide to stop the spread into neighboring Belgium. Needless to say we're a bit worried about our own animals here at the castle. Preventive measure btw, consist of killing all possible acrriers: chickens, turkeys, ducks and possibly swans.

Madonna's 'official' site was hacked. Apparently because of her distribution of 'decoy' files on p2p networks. I must admit, I downloaded a BitTorrent yesterday hoping it would be her new album and was dissapointed it was crap. This is a loose-loose situation.
