An analysis of students in the US has found that those who have a certain type of brain parasite are more likely to be majoring in business studies.
Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite carried by cats. It can infect people through contact with cat faeces, poorly cooked meat, or contaminated water, and as many as one-third of the world’s population may be infected. The parasite doesn’t make us feel sick, but it forms cysts in the brain where it can remain for the rest of a person’s life. Some studies have linked infection with the parasite to slower reaction times, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, suicidal behaviour, and explosive anger.

“I understand one of the symptoms is a pathological hatred of motorcycle clubs.”
That doesn’t make any sense.
It will be enlightening to see the cat-parasite infection ratio of liberals-democrat-national-socialists-enviro’s to conservatives.
Seems they all have the symptoms.
Maybe that explains all the good investment decisions I’ve made.
Weird stat.
So, the test is similar to Rabies? Send frozen head to have the brain examined?
Yeah, it’s those cat-lovin’ business students’ fault.
Toxo made the purrps do it!
I had a Tortoiseshell cat in Charlevoix Mi. ten years ago and found that there were no litter boxes of a suitable size for her. So I used my craftsmanship skills and knowlege to come up with a solution. I went to K-Mart and bought a Rubbermade 30 gallon tote with a cover and modified it. I used my die-grinder with a cut-off wheel on it to cut a square hole of about a foot square inthe end of the tote. Then, I used a piece of textured Lexan about a foot square and installed it on the lid of the tote with eighth-inch screws. So, when all was said and done, My cat had probably the world’s only litter box with a skylight.
