NBC (Washington, DC) ^ | 9/4/14 | Staff

About two weeks after he went missing, police announced an NIH scientist has been found dead in his car.

Martin John Rogers, 54, left his Gaithersburg home around 7:30 a.m. on Aug. 21 to go to work. As he was leaving, he told his wife of 25 years that he was going to a meeting -- but his co-workers said he never showed up to work that morning./SNIP/

Martin Rogers had worked at the National Institutes of Health for 15 years and specialized in tropical diseases.

Rather than publicly castigating a classy, long-time respected FReeper on the
thread, perhaps it would be less embarrassing for you to do it in FReepmail.

The Spelling and Grammar Police, of which you seem to be a member in grand standing, rarely get thanked or appreciated.

Naah, what’s the fun in that?
(Post 36 by the way, that squares with my recollections.)
SMC would rather be publicly pantsed in forum.
More entertaining that way.

Besides, I have always heard it as “Virii” whether it was the rna type or computer type.

[TheOldLady]

Me too. Both Latin class in high school, and Medical Terminology class in Court-Reporting School.

Yep. Another red-faced Spelling and Grammar Cop bites the “oopsie!” dust.

And actually, FReepmail isn’t really the way to go anyway. The subject still yells at you.

Sorry I’m not responding quickly. Lucas Prince of Darkness is trying to sleep on my keyboard.
When he isn’t insisting that I rub his face. Typing can be a challenge as I try to get my fingers
to the keys past his little paws. Bossy little guy!

[Darksheare]

I guess we “Old Pharts” know something after all.
Well, what does one expect for someone who couldn’t even spell the name of the poster he was posting to?

Ah, Lucas needs extra scritches as he’s attempting to use your keyboard himself.
Catz are lyke that.

Now he's sound asleep on my left hand, and from his twiching, I'd xcc say he's happily chasing chipmunks in the sunshine in his dreams. ↑↑↑ -- Luke, having his say.

Oops! forgot my HTML rules there!

I was thoroughly head butted and trilled at by Jinx when I made my way downstairs.

[Borax Queen]

Darks is causing trouble... again....

:0)

[Darksheare]

Always!
And now, with researchers vanishing and ending up mysteriously dead, my typing appears to be more important to some!
[I need to give them my coffee!]

[Borax Queen]

Hahahha!

This thread has been derailed and wrecked. Was that the plan?

Dead Microbiologists Ping.

Check out article, also # 28 , # 29.

Thanks, SatinDoll.

[TheOldLady]

Yes, he’s pretty bossy when he thinks I made a mistake. He has his face in the food and
water bowls right now. Maybe he’ll come back and criticize something I’m doing later.

[TheOldLady]

Oooh! Jinx really loves you!

[Darksheare]

I seem to have to get him a tray of outdoor dirt.
He likes playing in the plants as he was born outside.
He also goes ‘Preet!’ when he wants my attention.

[Darksheare]

Nope.

What are the odds that any evidence of foul play will be, er, ignored?
I’m laying odds an “depression” or “Suicide” being listed as “cause of death”.

[Darksheare]

Of course, thinking in hindsight, it might have been the aim of this moron.

[TheOldLady]

Neato!

[Smokin' Joe]

Ping...

A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread, just in case there is some connection.

If you're going to upbraid a fellow FReeper for his spelling, you may want to spell his name correctly.

LOL! Agreed.
