It works like a virus and was transmitted among members of the Fore Tribe in Papua New Guinea via Ritualistic Cannibalism. The numbers printed on the A-side runout groove are coordinates. These coordinates correspond to the location of a village in "Okapa", Papua New Guinea. It is the village where the Kuru virus was first found.
