Wow, they look great! I was thinking about buying Christmas tree balls made of glass this year. Maybe I should decorate the tree with viruses instead.

Well, you have to have some kind of humour nowadays when you're mother nature....

Scary!

So basically, viruses are like self replicating aliens in our bodies! They are pretty scary when you consider the fact that a self replicating, mutating virus could kill all of humanity pretty quickly..

I could come over and sneeze on it, if you want?

Cheers,

By definition a virus is not self replicating. If they were it would actually remove the aspect that makes virii dangerous (ie. taking over our cells and using them to replicate until the cell wall collapses).
