I Promise My Next Post Will Be A RR

But until then, I'd stay away from Chinese food. Just read this in that Liberal Rag called the
Washington Post.

The tests found a virus that appeared virtually identical to the SARS virus in saliva and feces of
six catlike animals, known as masked palm civets. The researchers directly isolated virus from four
of the animals and found pieces of genetic material from the microbe in two others. Tests also
showed genetic evidence of the virus in feces of another animal, known as a raccoon dog, and an
eighth animal, a Chinese ferret badger, had antibodies to the virus in its blood. None of the
animals was sick.

WTF? You eat that sh!t something is bound to go wrong sooner or later.

Peace, Bill(and I thought MSG was bad)Wheeler The mind serves properly as a window glass rather
than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation
of the world.

It's not a restaurant thing with masked palm civets. I can't think what it's called but they're the
little critters that produce the most expensive coffee in the world. Folklore has it that they eat
only the best and ripest coffee beans and then men with sacks collect the defecated beans and make a
uniquely flavoured coffee from them. You can buy it mail-order and it's been pretty popular in
recent years. Just another reason to cut back on the caffeine, I guess.
