Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, February 11, 2012

An evolutionary biologist in the Czech Republic believes that human brains are being affected in significant ways by Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that can spread from cat feces to humans. Research by Jaroslav Flegr finds a link between the parasite in humans and their likelihood of car wrecks and a possible link to schizophrenia. "There is strong psychological resistance to the possibility that human behavior can be influenced by some stupid parasite," Flegr said. "Nobody likes to feel like a puppet."

Are you trying to insinuate that Zat, when he says "Happy extinction idiot, you deserve it", may be channeling a message meant for him from the parasites coming off of his cat?

Interesting.

As if scooping shit out of a box for a thankless selfish feline wasn't clue enough for the fact that they mess you up.

And argument in favor of BIG dogs. Anything smaller than 50 lbs is just an overgrown rodent.

Interesting.

I know some people who gotta be infected with something.

The problem is in keeping the same old cat, year after year.

Get a fresh one each year instead.

And yet when you read the actual research it simply states something science already knew: Toxoplasmosis does things to pregnant women and severely immunosupressed people. Way to waste your life, jackass!

I love cats - I'll take my chances.

nasty stinky cats! There is no telling how many girls turn into lonely old women simple because they refuse to clean out that smelly cat box.The Oder is enough to gag a maggot and they expect a guy to hang around? They really are crazy it must be the Toxoplasma gondii!

my cats are gone. like now...

Is there a reason you date only women with no sense of smell?

I'm not worried I cook 'em to at least a 165 degree internal temperature

hmmmm....crazy old ladies living with dozens of cats????

Were they originally crazy or did the crazy creep up on them as the cats multiplied?
I read about some sad person living with dozens of cats at least 3-4 times a year or even more.

The Oder is a river.

hmmm .. accepted knowledge that Libs are more likely to be "cat-people" ..

~ could it be that "cat-people" (being damaged & deranged) simply more likely to become Libs?

"hmmm .. accepted knowledge that Libs are more likely to be "cat-people" .. "

Not me, can't stand cats. Wouldn't ever mistreat one of them but they just aren't my kind of animal. I'm definitely a dog person.

dog person

When my son was 8 he acquired a 7 pound cat best described as South Austin Himalayan look alike.

We already had a 120 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback hound.

They were the best of friends for a decade until the dog died; Slept together, Isaac would carry Frisky around in his mouth.

As for cats, Camp Swift distills the finest.

Terrorism, the end of the Mayan calendar and now Toxoplasma gondii. With all this shit trying to kill me I might as well go back to cocaine and booze.

Whoa...I just did a fat line of used kitty litter and I am TRIPPING BALLS.

This is me right now:

Toxoplasma gondii.

Was that the dude from India?

I just ate a chunk of lead paint and smoked some Thalidomide. Fuuuuk...I feel like Demi Moore.

Is that why I keep thing about pussy???

The most dangerous paracite is the liberalis wackytosis. Symptoms of it's influence include strange thoughts including love fetishes for murderers, tax collectors, people who refuse to work amd dead people who still vote.

=love fetishes for murderers

Ayn Rand, Hugely Popular Author and Inspiration to Right-Wing Leaders, Was a Big Admirer of Serial Killer

Her works are treated as gospel by right-wing powerhouses like Alan Greenspan and Clarence Thomas, but Ayn Rand found early inspiration in 1920's murderer William Hickman.

Frequently Wrong Thom

I agree Corky. The average lib is just as whacky as Ayn Rand about murderers.

Conservatives are more likely to be dog owners and liberals are more likely to be cat owners.

neuropolitics.org

More evidence that liberalism is a disease.

So where/what is the testing procedure for
determining whether or not you, or
your feline are infected?

I would think some testing like MRI
to check for cysts in some of these
cat hoarders would be an option.
Might explain some of their behavior.

It's nice that you've posted mention of this important and interesting science story. But you should properly acknowledge the article from which you so generously lifted:

www.theatlantic.com

Do you mean I should perhaps have LINKED the article in the title? Dumbass.
