   Her Maj has something up her sleeve, Edward.

   Maybe she still has a wish left.

   If anyone else has an extra wish or two saved up, remember today is World AIDS Day.

   Didn’t AIDS come from monkeys…or at least that’s what I’ve heard.

   You better hope that I don’t find a lantern with a genie. Universal veganism!

   Gweedo, it might have started with monkeys (chimps, actually) back in the 40s or earlier (and let’s not go there), but I would bet most cases derive from another vector nowadays.

   Veganism is fine with me as long as we can still eat meat. I for one have an issue with denying several millions of years of evolutionary omnivorism and calling it healthy.

   I have to agree with Roger (the other one) - until I lose my incisors and grow another 3 stomachs, I’ll have a little meat with my veggies, thanks. The real key is balance, not abstinence from meat.

   Lots of protein in other things and some of them taste like the real thing (flavored seitan) but nobody has to die. My cholesterol is so freaking perfect that my doctor doesn’t hassle me about the extra 50 lbs I carry around!

    Gweedo/Roger: Technically yes AIDS came from monkeys but before humans were around millions of years ago. As each new species evolved it got its own AIDS virus. These different AIDS changed and evolved with the species and cant be spread among other species. Supposedly ours became a outbreak because it most likely came from village hidden to most normal society. Well someone went into the village and came out with it maybe 400-300(maybe farther back) years ago and it spread slowly then got faster(as weve been seeing). Recently no it didnt come from monkeys.

    Forgot the class i learned this in last year but its a summary of what we learned.

    Thanks Nippon. Every living thing seems to be plagued by other creatures living off of it, sometimes to the utter detriment to the host itself.

    Vector, Victor, Roger.

    I’ve tested low blood pressure
    Purple. the kind that comes from lack of clogged vessels. I have a book [Health secrets of a Naturopathic Doctor] wherein he states that raw meat contains lecithin which counteracts cholesterol but is ruined in cooking it, otherwise wild creatures who live entirely on the carnage of others would them selves have to be on a litany of pharmaceuticals and surgeries in order to prolong their existence. You don’t hear of triple bypasses in mountain lions.

    That’s likely because their doctors don’t talk to them much.

    mountain lions are also not known for living to a ripe old age, and I for one intend to do exactly that.
