[According to David Byrne we’re screwed](http://journal.davidbyrne.com/2007/04/42407_begone.html). He blames GM. He could be right. Einstein apparently said:

> “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”

In case you missed the news bee populations worldwide are plummeting. Ah yes good times. The Rapture approaches. If it ain’t bird flu or global warming or rising sea levels or drug-resistant drug strains. What can I do for Farrell?
