How a potentially deadly strain of bacteria escaped from a primate research lab infecting four monkeys is a mystery, government officials said, but they added the incident poses no threat to the public.

Actually, couyon, the "x" means plurality, so unless you're talking about a family of them the "x" should be left off. But leave it to a bunch of Cajuns to frick up something that simple.

Tell me what you know about The Army of the Twelve Monkeys!

Although the spelling is not standard French, the names are Boudreaux and Thibodeaux.
Educate yourself, fool.
But I wouldn't expect a simple minded Texan to realize that. Amidoinitrite?

It's a middling SyFy channel series that doesn't have much going for it.

It was changed to Boudreaux and Thibodeaux because the Acadians were illiterate and had to mark an X by their name.

Yup.

Although there is debate about the exact emergence of this spelling in the United States, it has been claimed that the spelling originated from immigrants who did not speak or read English having to make an "x" mark at the end of their printed name in order to sign a legal document. Since many Cajun names of French origin already ended in "-eau," the names' endings eventually became standardized as "-eaux."
This claim has been disputed by the historian Carl Brasseaux, who insists that the "-eaux" ending was one of many possible ways to standardize Cajun surnames ending in an "O" sound. Brasseaux claims that Judge Paul Briant is most responsible for the "-eaux" ending during his oversight of the 1820 U.S. Census in Louisiana and that the "x" ending is completely arbitrary.[1]

Those are names and the "x" spelling is a far more common surname in South Louisiana. You usually find the no "x" spelling in areas with historic french populations not based in Louisiana

umm. This was essentially my exact point, genius. Btw, this simple minded Texan is fluent in french, so I'm pretty sure I know a little more about it than you do.

Yes, I know. This is exactly the point I made earlier.

More dangerous monkey bacteria at a bama home game

The bacteria was most likely smuggled out on the end of some corndog's weiner.
