Newly-Discovered Monster Virus From The Depths of the Antarctic Waters

I don't know what you're talking about bro, I have plenty of virophage friends.

What I'm talking about is the idea that the very fact that something is a virus makes it "bad" regardless of what it does.

Do you think bacteria are "bad" too? 'Cause if you do, I've got a surprise for you. It's called E. coli and without it, you'd die.

We cure AID's but we all develop an obsession with Woody Allen movies.



Is it really worth it?

 

[enterthemadness]

Or MTV?!

But I didn't state it as a fact as I only skimmed through the article. Hence why I even admitted I didn't really know what I was talking about.

Don't worry. Ferret is just trying to derail this thread like he did Supermoon.



Fun has no place in the Ferret World.

Twilight Zone.

Twilight Zone.

I thought so. No offense but it kinda creeps me out. I think I remember that episode. Oh and stop hating Ferret. I know the difference between a virophage and a little kid from an episode of the Twilight Zone.

Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn’t that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we’re overrun by lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They’ll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren’t the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we’re prepared for that. We’ve lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we’re stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that’s the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

Hahaha. As anti-arms as I am, this is why guns are the top of the food chain

A virus that eats other viruses? Couldn't that be a good thing?

It doesn't eat Our viruses, though, but I guess scientests could genetically modify it too eat HIV or something.
