    You know, there really aren't very many monkeys, and there's over six billion of us...

    Not to mention that we have speech and technology, and have shown the ability to make other species extinct entirely by accident...

    It doesn't much matter if supermonkeys somehow become the norm, we still win easily.

    So you'd have to attach it to a virus that can infect you, even without immunosuppressants.
    Did somebody say SuperAIDS?
    Marauding hoards of superstrong AIDS patients, and they want revenge on a government that has ignored them.
    This summer, you will wear The Red Ribbon.

    Just take away their hands so they can't use our firearms against us.

    What do you mean they can shoot with their feet?

    This sounded good until " immunosuppressant drugs are a necessary component of the therapy".

    No..freaking..way

    @SilverBlade2k: Since it's delivered by virus you'd think they'd want to suppress your immune system so the medium isn't devoured.

    Wouldn't it be great if this were the inevitable bug to go contagious and infect the whole planet? It could be the day the whole world got tickets...to the gun show.
