Don't eat the Beef.

I knew this was going to happen thats why I stopped 4 years ago.


Mad Cows ok cow but still






Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) will be epidemic by 2036 and it is spread by eating the meat of animals infected with related diseases such as BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy, better known as Mad Cow Disease). CJD is a horrible and fatal brain-deteriorating disease for which there is no treatment or cure, presently believed to be caused by a prion (an abnormal isoform of a host-encoded protein, with no RNA or DNA). Mr. Titor expressed astonishment that people are so careless about the food they routinely ingest; apparently CJD has a latent period of 10 to 30 years, which means (if Mr. Titor was not a fraud) that many people are probably unwittingly contracting the disease today who will become victims of the CJD epidemic. We're ignorant meat eaters.

The smoking and drinking will have eliminated me by then.

Ah, damned if you do and damned if you don't. We're all gonna die sooner or later and the way the world looks these days, I'd be surprised to be around long enough to even contract this disease.

i'm glad i don't eat meat. i do drink cow's milk though - i would think that could put me at risk too, huh?

[IrishAlkey]

Yeah, you're at risk for having healthy fingernails.

this is so disgusting; how could someone live with their hands in that condition?

[IrishAlkey]

The guy who used to wash dishes at the country club I worked at had nails like that.

[Jimbo]

on a side note, if someone's hands are that horrible imagine how horrifying their feet must be.
