Stephen King wasn’t a literary genuis… he was psychic… http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16670768/wid/11915773?GT1=8921
I love the fact that the world doesn’t have enough deadly viruses in the world, so we have to "genetically reconstruct" the worst flu we can find.
(as a side note, I did check that the plural of virus is viruses, but in the process came across several references that say not only is virii or viri incorrect, but it is also the plural of vir, latin for Man. I think I had heard the analogy of men and viruses (which, in and of itself is very interesting and plausible), which used the latin meaning of virii as supporting evidence. Good to note that it isn’t true… but it’s still an interesting argument, anyway… makes me want to watch the Matrix.)
