One of my favorite books features Kuru as a key plot device ...

Kuru, the laughing disease, spread by the ingestion of brains, was once common among the Fore people but may have died out. However, anthropological forays into academia reveal a high prevalence of a new transmissible neurologIc disease, the non-laughing disease, spread by ingestion of stupidity. Those affected display delusional thinking on multiple fronts and are utterly unable to laugh at themselves. They tend to react violently when others laugh at their errors.

I’m just now starting the book. Sounds like a good read so far.

The whole upcoming tour's on hold because Mick is sick. I think Keith will be last to go, just to mess with everyone. "Glad to be here, glad to be anywhere." -- Keith Richards

Why don't cannibals eat clowns? They taste funny.
I have a feeling these will continue until everyone is fed up.

Call them whatever YOU like. If it sticks they’ll whine and try to change it
