I thought Death was something that should be obvious so I just went with MO. But for the otehr 3, I thought they should be more subtle, so Weight Loss for famine, Microsoft for almost facilitating viruses that plague the internet and Halliburton for what I consider war profiteering during the current Iraq war (not hard to figure out where my politics are, huh?) :-)

I have to admit that it is pretty cool. Although there are a lot of in war and pestilence. Although I'm no fond of Microsoft (Linux user), probably a biotech would have been also good.

er, did I say defense? I meant war.

Hahaha, I like your picks, pretty unique. I thought you'd use a good defense company for defense, Halliburton though?
