「Welcome to Kuru」の
Kuruって、なんだろうと思ったので調べてみました。

食人習慣に起因するプリオン系のパプアニュギニアの風土病「クールー病」らしいです。なるほどなあ。
The Dining Table
Come in dear sir
Let me show you around
I serve the master
Who lives in this house
The Guests are arriving
Don't look so pensive
Dinner will be served shortly
A treat for the senses
Don't be disturbed
By the sound of the laughter
It is the master
Who'll join us soon after
So you can see sir
The evening brims with joy
As you may see there
The master descends the stairs
The Clock has struck midnight
But no guests were at the table
Instead it was the master
Who spoke amidst laughter
Welcome to Kuru
The Cannibal's disease
I laugh without control
And this shall never cease
No guests are arriving
The hour is due
Stay at the table my friend
Dinner is you
