my doctor asked if I was getting enough sleep and I laughed for so long she made a note

@Daojoan a repeating note... do, do

(In French, "dodo" means sleep)

@Daojoan

the disease Kuru is also known as "laughing sickness"

due to abnormal bursts of laughter as the prions degrade the brain

did she asked about your travel history?

(/s)

@benroyce @Daojoan Well, technically, you need to eat (most probably) someone’s brain to get Kuru, so traveling should be fine :)

@vancura @Daojoan

one nasty twist on that is the traditions said the men got to eat the muscles while the women and children had to eat the less tasty bits, which meant the brains, and thus kuru was more prevalent amongst women and children

@Daojoan And now I"m laughing so hard!!! hahahahahaha

Not on her making a note, but from her asking that thing XD

@Daojoan thats funny, iam reading this at 0006 am and I have to get up at 0430 am 
@Daojoan
laughter just beneath the threshold of froth...
@Daojoan
I share your problem, sleep-wise.
@Daojoan I've done that enough times to know that it tends to result in a new prescription for a pill I've never heard of that works in a completely way than ALL the ones I've tried before.

@Daojoan Been there, it's no fun. At some point, I firmly decided to always get enough sleep no matter what.

Yeah, I know the sky is going down, and the world is about to end. Tell them I'll get back to them in 8 hours.
