someone knows a programmer or mathematician who is prepping
and/or informing himself about H5N1 ?

I don't believe 5 atoms of hydrogen combine with one of nitrogen to
form a stable compound.

H clearly stands for "horse", not "hydrogen", and five horses certainly make
a stable. Furthermore, wherever five horses are gathered, there will be
much nitrogen (in compound form) lying around the place waiting for you to
slip on it.

It's less clear why a programmer or mathematician would be involved. Perhaps
the horse is spherical?
