what does this have to do with stealing xmas trees? this would be considered a off topic/spam post.

Naah I got what he's meant after reading through the articles. Apparently one of the key ingredients of the vaccine for bird flu will come from the needles of the evergreen coniferous trees.

the title of the topic sounds much funnier than the topic itself.

i agree this isn't spam nor offtopic

maybe its the next step finding a cure soon

oooh must have missed that link but ok it makes sense now sorry about that.

but interesting that they are using xmas trees, well instead of burning them after xmas is over donate the tree to the scientists. (oh no herbal remedies is that like against law for using something like that? Blame the Kevin Trudau infomercials )

well, now I get it too, but the first time I saw this topic, do not know why, but I saw this "Santas are stealing Christmas trees" it sounds a bit like scientists.. yea, what I hate about Christmas trees is that a lot of people here justs leaves them outside somewhere in the yard.. and stuff.
