http://www.cnet.com/au/news/scientists-waking-up-30000-year-old-giant-virus/ I always thought it was their goal to get rid of viruses... but maybe I got it backwards.

In Missoura, that train leaves the Station when the first cousin turns 7 and the Troll clan gets their grubby paws on her.

Maybe there are two types of 'people' in the 'scientific community'...
the ones that fight viruses and
the ones that make viruses.
Like you have a 'group of people' who fight computer viruses and..
you have people in Israel who make computer viruses.
The Good guys, and the Bad guys.
So, those scientists-waking-up-30000-year-old-giant-virus
must be the bad guys.
Shouldn't we be gettin rid of the Bad guys?
Wasn't it scientist who created the Aids virus? (miximg monkey blood with vacines in africa)
Now yous want to wake-up-30000-year-old-giant-virus????
vi·rus
'vir?s/
noun
noun: virus; plural noun: viruses; noun: computer virus; plural noun: computer viruses
1.
an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat,
is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the... living cells of a host.
