Damn, I wanted to give you the red that you'd normally give me but it wouldn't let me for the usual reasons.

Their study, published in the journal Science, supports other studies that suggest people somehow caught the deadly human immunodeficiency virus from chimpanzees, perhaps by killing and eating them.
Umm, there is at least one other theory on how that happened...

"We know that you don't get it from petting a chimp, or from a toilet seat, just like you can't get HIV from a toilet seat. It requires exposure to infected blood and infected body fluids. So if you get bitten by an angry chimp while you are hunting it, that could do it."
Come on guys, you're just embarrassing yourselves now...

Now why can't that happen to certain chimps that we know?
