In the news today: scientists say they are totally not at fault when a lab-grown virus escapes from a science lab! When asked for how it could happen then, they said "Oh no no no no, it must be some people, uh... COOKING AND EATING BATS! Yeah! It must be the cooks, or the patrons, or someone else, BUT TOTALLY NOT US, because, uh, there's a market right by our lab!"

Just for the lolz I would have asked if they are frequent patrons :)

IDK, but I tend to apply Occam's to the theory, and to me, the alternative theory looked a LOT more crackpot-ish...
