It's no laughing matter

A 27-year-old Ukrainian chess champion and his girlfriend, 18, have been found dead in their Moscow flat, apparently poisoned by laughing gas.

Ah but Mr Darwin sir, you are missing out on a mahoosive money making opportunity here. If they are gullible enough to think that licking a shrine that other potential carriers have already licked will protect them from the virus then I'm sure they would happily pay for magical healing turnips...  whistle:

Sounds like Mr Darwin sir has been hard at work again...
