At work, we actually say, "Exsars me" when we sneeze. The monkey pox is a weird one, eh?

Monkey Pox is a virus that is spread by prairie dogs... lol. Aparantly someone thought that instead of killing the little suckers, they should capture them and make pets of them. This is what happens when you take a wild animal that isn't meant to be domesticated and turn it into a pet. The close contact to humans (that actually was never meant to be) is what is causing all of these strange viruses to appear...

Actually it is transmitted by a species of African rat, and it has jumped over to the prarie dog over here in the States. Nasty looking stuff too.

That is why I don't like those things

oops, looks like someone already beat me to it :p

A possible biological agent which was played with by the russians. And of course many of their ex-weapons are now unaccounted for....

Monkeypox has never been seen outside of Africa before... (oh, and its very rare there too)
