Bizarre Headlines in News III

Chimps are sticking grass and sticks in their butts, seemingly as a fashion trend
A group of chimpanzees in Zambia have resurrected an old fashion trend with a surprising new twist.

Fifteen years after a female chimpanzee named Julie first stuck a blade of grass into her ear and started a hot new craze among her cohort at the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage, an entirely new group of chimps at the refuge have started doing the same thing.

"We were even more shocked that they were doing their own spin on this by also inserting the grass and sticks in a different orifice."

The chimps, he says, have been putting blades of grass and sticks into their ears and anuses, and simply letting them dangle there for no apparent reason.

Silver lining, that. Being forced to eat more healthfully has undoubtedly benefitted you. Still though, what a tough allergy to have. I don't know the sensitivity levels of it, but I imagine you have to make sure your food doesn't touch a grill or cooking surface that had cooked mammalian meats just before. On the upside, there's plenty of fried chicken and beer-battered fish out there (both of which I prefer over most red meat products.)

Imagine these guys in the tweet actually pulling a stunt like that. I would regard this as nothing less than terrorism.

Actually, steak, ground beef, etc. wasn't that big of a deal, since we had almost stopped eating them. Bacon and sausage was probably missed more...

My wife has developed a sensitivity to beef, but not pork; not sure what caused it, but any beef/beef byproduct pretty much blows up her GI tract.

Rice does that to me, but only recently. When I was younger, simple starches didn't bother me at all, but now? A few bites of rice or mashed potatoes and 30 minutes later, I'm capable of blowing off Sam Donaldson's toupee from 20 yards out. I can't even begin to fathom why that is now.

The sensitivities are not even across the board. You might think about having an alpha gal test run. It's a simple blood test. Ever more doctors are now aware of it. Tennessee recently made it a mandatory reportable result by doctors. like STDs and other infectious diseases. If she likes to garden (or hike, etc.), or any outdoor activity, then she's at risk...

A Delta Air Lines employee stole a computer tablet left behind on a plane by a South Carolina child, then used it to record sexually explicit videos of himself – which saved to cloud storage and were discovered by the minor’s parents, a recent federal lawsuit alleges.

Laughing so hard at that... Excellent.

Yeah... I have a number of foods that really do in the old colon. I love the red vino, but some of them extract a price.

Go through 12 weeks of chemotherapy for a blood cancer and see what that does to your colon. There are times when just walking causes gas to "escape" and I can do nothing about it. I spend a lot of time alone...

Oh my... That is not good, have you addressed with your oncologist? They should review and see if anything can help.

My wife also loves the red vino and she has discovered a way to aerate her wine in only seconds. After she pours a glass, she uses a milk frother on it for four or five seconds and just like that, it unlocks the more complex elements of the wine itself in terms of taste and bouquet. If you've never tried that, I recommend giving it a whirl.

Interesting... I'll have to give that a try!

I have a glass aerator where you decant the whole bottle, works well, but I also have cut way back and use a Coravin for the occasional glass these days.

True that... There are many trade offs in oncology. I have been in practice for 20 years and it has been gratifying to see the impact of targeted and immunological therapies during that time.

They are amazing...my sister is a retired hematologist oncologist in Birmingham --- was at UAB for years. She was a great resource the last 4 ½ years.

MUSC here in Charleston has a good staff at the Hollings Cancer Ctr. I was given a 4 drug therapy for 12 weeks and then bone marrow transplant. All good now...

I hope I don't have to go to that. I had an impressive response to proton chemoradiation for my SQEC. I'm still left with extensive scarring and strictures...

Family Adopts Senior Dog and Makes Incredible DNA Discovery
California resident Jillian Reiff was shocked and grieving the sudden death of Rufus, a 16-pound rat terrier mix she’d adopted before marrying her husband, Matthew Reiff.

He was a cherished member of the family for nearly a decade, so it was traumatic when Rufus died from a burst gallbladder without warning in April. Though roughly 16 years old, he still walked over a mile every day and seemed young for his age.

“We lost him pretty instantly,” Reiff says. “We were completely gutted.”

The night after Rufus died, Reiff’s daughter Maya couldn’t sleep and wanted to look at photos of adoptable dogs on social media, a favorite pastime of the frequent fosters.

She was scrolling the Instagram page of Muttville Senior Dog Rescue and stopped on a photo of a senior rat terrier mix. Maya held up the phone and said, “Mom, look at this dog. This dog looks like Rufus.”

“They looked like the same dog,” Reiff recalls. “I was looking at a dog that had the same face, the same head tilt. I can’t even express how that felt at that moment.”
Reiff decided to adopt Ziggy on the spot. They left with him about 20 minutes later.

Ziggy reminded the family of Rufus in so many ways, both in his appearance and mannerisms, that Reiff bought an Embark DNA test to see if they shared similar genetic makeups. She’d tested Rufus nine years prior and learned he was 50% Chihuahua and 50% rat terrier.

Ziggy’s results proved to be jaw-dropping. Not only was he also 50% Chihuahua and 50% rat terrier, but he was identified as the father of Rufus.
