Sure to be a best seller.

... sounds like it might be a veritable killer in coffee table book circles ... sales are bound to 'look up' when you 'open' ... if stiff competition doesn't bury you later on you will make a killing ...

It was a suggestion aimed at someone who said they didn't think I contributed anything to the discussion. If that's the case, they shouldn't pay any attention to, or respond to my posts, especially when not addressed to them.

And look how it could spread worldwide:

The prairie dog, which has been linked to the monkeypox outbreak in the United States, is a favourite pet among some Malaysians, according to China Press. It said the prairie dogs, available in pet shops in Kuala Lumpur, were imported from the United States. One pet shop owner said the prairie dog, priced at RM500 each, was a “fast moving” item.

Oh boy. Unless Malaysia gets their prairie dogs from Phil's Pocket Pets there is no danger of spreading the virus to prairie dogs exported to Malaysia.
