Riding the rails for a fall

Red China plans to build three gigantic high-speed railway lines spanning from Shanghai to London and clear down to Burma--and plan to construct the whole thing within a decade.

I recommend standing well back as the entire scheme comes apart at the seams, as the shrapnel tends to carry.

The chances of me catching the latest strain of flu from some unknown carrier in my own car is a number approaching zero.
