"Koala AIDS" spreading in Austrailia.

Australian Wildlife Hospital, Australia (CNN) -- On the operating table lies a sick koala. He's just been brought in by a driver who found the animal sitting in the middle of a busy road. Veterinarian Claude Lacasse determines the koala has not been hit by a car but she immediately detects one serious problem facing many of the marsupials: Chlamydia, a disease which can lead to a very slow and painful death for koalas living in the wild.

Besides Chlamydia, there is another disease plaguing these marsupials -- and there is no vaccine or cure and it's spreading rapidly.
Koala AIDS or KIDS (Koala Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is similar to AIDS in humans. The immune system of the animals is weakened and they are made susceptible to cancer and other deadly infections.

I think this means our Aussie/NZ users will need to be tested for koala aids

An STD? A disease named "KIDS"?

Somehow, I suspect Pedobear is responsible for this.

 

[shortylickens]

Too easy. I wont even bother.

 

[SunSamurai]

I'll stick with crystal light.

 

[bignateyk]

Which one of you bastards gave that poor Koala the clap? Was it you godless?

 

[rudder]

I don't want to know how aids got from a monkey to a person and I don't want to know how it got from a person to a koala bear.

I don't want to know how aids got from a monkey to a person and I don't want to know how it got from a person to a koala bear.

The koala virus isn't derived from HIV.

I think it was Dug.

 

[PlasmaBomb]

only some are predisposed to it becoming full-blown KIDS.

Those would be the ones that have hot teachers in highschool, right?

[Jeff7]

"Girl, I want you to have my KIDS!"
- "Oh my god, really? Oh that's wonderful!!!"


Months later, at the doctor's office, a viral pathology report turns up some interesting, and very unexpected results.

 

[destrekor]

Do it for the KIDS!

What would be a better acronym?

 

[OCGuy]

Now I have to wrap it when I pound koalas too? What is this world coming to?

When I was a boy, you could go around and screw all sorts of fauna without a worry.

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

when did u go from supervising lead to help desk biatch?

 

[lokiju]

Totally thought this was about Cool Aid at first glance.

 

[T9D]

...

 

[SphinxnihpS]

Pretty sure that until recently they were worried about koala overpopulation, so this should take care of that.

 

[RU482]

you ever get the feeling some animals just aren't cut for this world?

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

No means no, guys. Even from koalas.

 

[Miramonti]

I had a funny feeling that Paris Hilton's sex tape with marsupials was going to lead to something devastating. I just knew it.

 

[destrekor]

No means no, guys. Even from koalas.

if they can't say it, they don't mean it.

:twisted:

I always said that kids were a sexually transmitted disease...little did I know that the only thing wrong with that sentence was subject/verb agreement.

I wonder if they're going to start an aggressive culling program...really not worth the research money to try and develop a cure, considering how insidious the virus is in humans.
