While the origin of the Tom Hanks Disease is still being disputed, many scientists believe that the disease originated from the wet markets of Wuhan, where wild animals are often kept in cages and sold as either pets or for food.

A belief that has forced it’s way into the mainstream is that a pangolin, an African or Asian termite-eating mammal, infected the first human. But, more than a half dozen virus experts who spoke to CNN claim that anyone who says they know the origin of the outbreak is just guessing.

Robert Griffin III likes the bat theory, though.

 

If you ignore the fact that RGIII ripped this phrase from the 926 meme accounts that posted it before he did, you may actually mistake the Ravens quarterback for having a sense of humor.

But I’m glad RGIII tweeted this because he pissed a lot of people off, which I tend to enjoy.

Robert Griffin has reached the live, laugh, love stage of quarantine. There’s no coming back.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
