El Fight de la Food

It's that time of year, the time when the leaves begin to fall from the trees, the weather starts to get colder, and the Spanish hold massive tomato-fueled food fights.

Great idea for a Tom Clancy-esque thriller: a terrorist sneaks into whatever silo they store the tomatoes in before game time. His plan? To implant each and every tomato with a slow-acting genetically engineered virus. Everyone will be infected on the day of the fight and will proceed to spread the virus around the world when they return home.

Or, possibly, he just steals the tomatoes and replaces them with tomato-shaped grenades. Less world-devestating, but probably more fun to watch.
