Oh yes, Doug, the popular pastime of shooting up ox blood, that must
explain the prevalence of CJD in British ...monkeys.
I'm still waiting to hear your views on whether you are worried about a
disease that is as rare as being killed by lightning. Don't you think
that a disease with an incidence of one in three million is rather
difficult to attribute to a consumption pattern associated with 94 per
cent of the British public.
