    Great. We're going to wind up creating a geeky version of AIDS if she keeps this up.

    Well, technically, assuming she has no previous record of veneral disease and if all she did was shagging virgins, there's no way anyone could catch anything, amirite?

    Actually, that'sn't entirely true. Sure, the odds of getting Aids and such other methods is pretty long, but still possible.

    I just had to click that "Get Laid" button.
    And I'm not even a virgin.

    :lol:

    I would hit her, though. (with a shovel)

    The chance that anyone would contract a veneric disease without actually having sex with an afflicted person is pretty damn low in the Western world where we actually check the blood used for transfusions.

    Well, the diseases do, anyway. Ever play with a used hypodermic needle? Ever get someone else's blood on an open cut by accident? There's your disease.

    Yes, but they have to grow from somewhere.

    It's not like AIDS has been around for all eternity, it came to at some point.

    Virii are subject to evolution and mutation just like the rest of us. The HIV virus has been traced to a species of monkey in Africa somewhere (I don't feel like looking up the name), and the people in the area are predominantly resistant to the disease's effects! They carry it, sure, but they don't suffer any symptoms.
    But, there is no way for such a disease to grow in a human if there's no history of HIV in their lineage and they've had no bodily fluid interaction with another human. Therefore, abstinence is key to prevent AIDS!

    An important part of that abstinence is not having "bodily fluid interaction" with monkeys.

    That's really bad news for our resident Norwegian blue. He'll have to practice abstinence unless all of western Scandinavia will die from AIDS!

    Not in the way most people here might think. It probably passed to humans because people ate uncooked or undercooked monkey...and perhaps drank some blood to gain the monkey's power.

    How ironic wouldn't it be if the monkeys' strongest desire was to enslave humanity through the spreading of uncurable disease?
