Heard about this on BBC World Service yesterday, and am preparing for the pestocalypse by buying up all the basil I can get my hands on and making gallons of pesto for my own private stash. I will knock over old ladies in my quest if I have to, so look out!
Also, don't even think of breaking in and stealing my precious precious pesto--my cat may look like a suck, indeed may even act like one, but this is his camouflage. He will in fact shoot anyone who goes near my freezer with the lasers I had implanted in his yeys.
What a great headline. It sounds like the title of a Guided By Voices song.
