  @Ant Clearly said canary. We have Google Chrome Canary though. The plot thickens, let's grill this fat bird!

  ...the size of the bird was never stated though
  so it could be big enough to consume all the gas ;)

  Right. "All that" as a coloquialism.

  Ahh right. Yea I get you now... I'm guessing the statement means they think he's sucked in 'all' the gas whilst they're really still about to die.

  I guess I'm being overly pedantic (shocker). My quibble is the adjective "all". Antivirus does not "soak up" viruses.

  I don't think it is a poor analogy. Anti-virus is always behind the curve, It also gives people a false sense of security. Where I work at the moment they have so many tools IPS, IDS, AV, Sandboxing, and it's all just useless. You could easily get in to the company and I have demonstrated it. The boxes are ticked for compliance and that's all that matters with all of these things.

  Guessing it means that it's (at best) reactive nowadays, not preventative. It's a poor analogy, imo.

  It was about Anti-virus being pointless. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/11/17/google_hacker_pleads_try_whitelists_not_just_bunk_antivirus_ids

  The analogy doesn't work by itself. What's the context of being grateful it inhaled the gas?
