Seriously, what the fuck

You all know how much I love Yale, but this is fucking absurd. Below is a press release from the Yale Police Department that was sent out this morning. It is not a joke.

A Message to the Yale Community:

I write to inform you that five rhesus monkeys escaped from the
neurochemical research laboratory of the Child Study Center (230 South
Frontage Road) at 5:07am on Thursday, December 3, 2009. All members of the
Yale community are urged to exercise caution in their movements about campus
until the animals are recaptured. If you or anyone you know comes into
contact with one of the monkeys, seek medical attention immediately. The
animals are infected with the Motaba virus, a hemorrhagic fever native to
central Africa; Yale-New Haven Hospital staff is ready to administer the
E-1101 serum, but it must be administered within several hours of infection.
Subjects escaped on S. Frontage towards Central Campus and were last seen
near George and Church. If you have any information regarding this case or
should witness suspicious activity, please report it immediately to the Yale
Police at 203-432-1374.

Sincerely,
James A. Perrotti
Chief of Police

Gotta be a joke. That virus is a fictional one, featured in the movie Outbreak. Google it!

It turned out to be a joke, yes, and I am extremely gullible.

Must say, whoever the "anonymous" poster is sounds like a real douche. If I know you, then my bad, but if I don't, find something better to do with your time.

This one was kind of easy to spot. The Chief would never send anything from a gmail addy.
