Concerning the potential for the human race to exterminate itself, either
intentionally or accidentally...
http://www.nytimes.com/library/world/global/060299anthrax-island.html
Note that the article states that some of the anthrax is still alive and
deadly, and that the island is growing toward the mainland. *And* it has
been apparently completely abandoned, with no guards or security measures,
allowing locals to scavenge materials from the decrepit labs and testing
grounds..
Perhaps the world will not end in fire, or in ice, but in bacteria.
