Here's my random thought of the day...

I've heard of, and even read about smallpox. I've even heard of, read about and even experienced chicken pox. But this is the first time I ever heard of monkey pox. Now, I don't normally attempt to make light of a serious issue, but one must wonder... What new malady will humanity be faced with it the years to come? Eagle pox? Phesant pox? Dolphin pox? Turkey pox? Seagull pox...? Makes you wonder, doesn't it...?
