Head about this on the radio.  Walton and Johnson does a regular "Florida Man" segment. 
http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/florida-man-falls-victim-to-leprosy-after-sex-with-armadillo/
A man in Florida has a very, very close relationship with his armadillo and contracted leprosy.  I have a feeling that whoever selected pictures for the story at the link was laughing about that choice.  

Quote
“At first glance, we tried to treat the affliction as an STD, but we soon realized our treatments were unsuccessful and the disease kept spreading more intensely until family members decided to tell us about the family animal” explains Dr. James H. Potter.

“The family was afraid of legal consequences for the boy, but I’m glad they told us the entire story so that we can now treat him properly and prevent further spread of the disease” he added.

Judging by the links that popped up, contracting leprosy from contact with armadillos is a problem that comes up more often than I thought, but this case is unique (thankfully).

This case just involved a scratch, but gives a little more information.

Leprosy from 'dillo's is a real problem down here.  I have to make sure my dog doesn't play with them, and I shoot them when they set up in my yard.  They are considered vermin here.


And that's without knowing one......biblically.

There could be permanent damage to prevent passing on genes, but I don't want to wait around for an update.

We have them here as well.  I think they're liable to carry leprosy where ever they live.  They remind me of small dinosaurs,  armored like that....but don't fool with them or let your pets fool with 'em.


And,  yeah,  don't have sex with them either.. :facepalm: [tinfoil] [popcorn] :laugh: :police: :police: :police: ;/.

You people have the reading comprehension of retarded 1st graders.  The first link was to WorldNetDaily, which is so deep into tabloid-land, it makes The Enquirer look serious.

The 2nd link is legit (well, more legit, it is DailyMail after all), but doesn't AT ALL mention having sex with the critter.

How retarded would that be? Profoundly retarded or just a touch of Down's perhaps, it could make a difference you know.   =|

That's not how it works, it doesn't work like that at all.

It doesn't say you can't have sex in Amarillo, it is just all of the leprechauns in Amarillo have STDs.

So, about on par with your average liberal arts college student today.

Isn’t this armed polite society? No one has asked what caliber for Armadillos with STDs yet? Or was that what caliber for leprechauns in Amarillo? I’m totally confused now.

The 2nd link was an entirely different story.  It just had more information the disease which is why I included it.  I was just passing on what I heard on the radio.  It is still funny in a weird way.   =)

I've whacked them ('dillos) with everything from my longbow to .45-70 Gov.
The one I killed with the longbow was the most interesting. I was just shooting around the back of my property with Judo points when I spotted the thing.
Managed to get head on with it at about 15 yards. I was going for a shot down the front hoping to get inside the armor. Center punched it in the head right between the eyes with the judo point. It jumped straight up about 4' and fell over dead.

Why would anyone want to go out and shoot dildos.  You are a sick person.
