Felonious Monkey was the name of my band in college.

+ 1 for each jazz reference in headline

Bet you anything that this idiot used the flash on her camera when she took the picture of the monkey. Not much sympathy for her here.

Glad the guy has managed to keep the monkey alive.

Indeed.

I might have to Django somewhere else for clarity.

The monkey apparently was locked in a cage and tied to a leash.

The woman who got bit obviously was asking for it.

Well you know, they were going to kill the monkey so I don't blame the monkey for running away. Of course, I wouldn't have anyone near my monkey in the first place.

If subby had somehow included Rahsaan Roland Kirk into the headline, I'd be really wowed.

/still made good impressions, though. lotsa verve.

Years ago, a GF was flipping through my CD's. She turned to me and asked, "What is The Loneliest Monk?"

Aside from jazz, she was pretty clever.

Did he flip her the Bird before he escaped?

I don't have a GED in Bio-Medicine.
But rabies is a viral disease right?
How come there isn't some test that can detect the virus in a blood sample from the victim?
We have test for all kinds of viral diseases. What's so difficult about the rabies virus that it can't be detected. Why is it necessary to kill the host and do a brain tissue culture to determine if it is present?

From what I understand, it is possible, it's just quite painful. So most people just scream 'kill the animal! I don't want to have to deal with a little pain. Even though the animal only attacked me because I provoked it.'

So it is possible, just that people see killing the animal as the easy option.

How did you do it? How did you set your monkey free?

/don't know how and don't know when to open my eyes... just like the pictured victim

First off--warning, I'm not a biomedicine expert and don't play one on the Internet. (However, I've got a good friend who makes mice glow in the dark via murine retroviruses (yes, it's for TEH SCIENCE--basically experiments in spinal cord regeneration) who would be getting a kick out of these replies...)

As I understand it, rabies (and other lyssaviruses--believe it or not, rabies is just one of about ten different rabies-like diseases, including one recently found in Australia) spreads rather strangely compared to other transmissible diseases one can catch through bodily fluid exchange.

When rabies (and other lyssaviruses) infect a victim, the virus actually spreads through nervous tissue almost exclusively, meaning that a biopsy of non-nervous tissue may well miss the virus entirely.

Which is why--unfortunately--the typical method of rabies diagnosis involves killing a suspect rabid critter and testing its nervous tissue (usually brain matter) for evidence of rabies. (With the exception of the tear and salivary glands, other body tissues get infected VERY late in the stage of the disease--as in "critter is about to fall over dead" late-stage.)

/there's a few other neurotropic viruses out there too--herpesviruses being a big family of them
//shingles is in fact caused by chickenpox virus that hides out in the nervous system in similar manner to how rabies travels in the nervous system
