XMRV and chronic fatigue syndrome and prostate cancer: *blink*
Category: Virology
Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense! Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself; What does this have to do with XMRV? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with XMRV! It does not make sense!
