"The scientists encourage people who live in or visit the region to avoid close contact with performing monkeys." Well jeez, just use a condom.

Sounds like someone wants a Grant ($). Is there any evidence in the local populations? There are a lot of temples throughout the area where monkeys live in large numbers. Are the monks who clean up after them sick with virus associated with the monkeys?

Are we reading the "scare of the month" story??

This is the greatest post ever on Free Republic.

I'm only being a little facetious.

Performing Monkey Viruses.

Worth it for that.

Aren't the monkeys taking the same chance? Maybe we should keep them away from socialists.

LOL! The article right before this talks about Howard Dean. I saw Howard Dean then performing monkeys on the main page. I thought it was together.
