| BBC: Officials in the mountainous northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh say they are struggling to control a severe form of monkey diarrhoea. Thousands of primates in the forested Himalayan slopes are affected. Officials say the disease has killed dozens and hundreds more remain ill with bleeding from their mouths, and rapid weight loss. A veterinary doctor treating them says they are being given bread smeared with honey and laced with antibiotics. Seattle Times obit: Dr. Walford alternated years of intensive laboratory research on mice with year long sabbaticals in which he walked across India in a loincloth measuring the rectal temperatures of holy men, traversing the African continent on foot, and living in Biosphere 2.

| #6 BigEd - lol, I was joking. This is hilarious stuff (well, not the monkeys dying, though I suspect Frank J/muck4doo would like that) and I drew looks here in my veal pen, ah, cubical due to my laughing. |

| #5 LotR : Often you make such sense. Someone put a bee in your bonnet today? The imagery invoked by the Seattle Times, and the aside remark by "Frank G" gave me the idea that this is something that Hollywood would like to tackle. Guy Wandering in a loincloth across India measuring. . .never mind. Chill out. |

| #1 bleeding from their mouths! Sounds like a cousin of Ebola to me. I bet the CDC is already in action. |
