   The trolls have trouble with the concept “correlation is not causation” when it should apply to their arguments.

   Well, Clay they do have to work other venues in order to get their jollies. And though they claim not to be followers, they do follow each other.

   Even prisoners have rights… but most of them don’t have attack lawyers ready to litigate for them.

   A happy ending? That would be Marx giving Walt’s soul a fishing rod, and Walt smiling…

   Actually, it would be a bad idea for someone to take such photos and try to get them out. Trump loves to litigate and he would win any such case handily.

   One can only speculate what would be transmitted by eating Trump’s brain…

   Nothing good, I’m sure…

   Kuru is a rare, incurable, and fatal neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly common among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. Kuru is a form of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) caused by the transmission of abnormally folded proteins (prions), which leads to symptoms such as tremors and loss of coordination from neurodegeneration.

   The term kuru derives from the Fore word kuria or guria (“to shake”), due to the body tremors that are a classic symptom of the disease. Kúru itself means “trembling”. It is also known as the “laughing sickness” due to the pathologic bursts of laughter which are a symptom of the disease. It is now widely accepted that kuru was transmitted among members of the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea via funerary cannibalism. Deceased family members were traditionally cooked and eaten, which was thought to help free the spirit of the dead. Women and children usually consumed the brain, the organ in which infectious prions were most concentrated, thus allowing for transmission of kuru. The disease was therefore more prevalent among women and children.

   The epidemic likely started when a villager developed sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease and died. When villagers ate the brain, they contracted the disease and then spread it to other villagers who ate their infected brains.

   And look what came of Stimson’s “Gentlemen don’t read each other’s mail.”

   And to think he was later Secretary of War…
