Posted on November 29, 2011 By admin

you read the following phrases in a newspaper article:

“A Dutch researcher has created a virus with the potential to kill half of the planet’s population. The virus is a strain of avian influenza H5N1 genetically modified to be extremely contagious”

and

“It’s just a bad idea for scientists to turn a lethal virus into a lethal and highly contagious virus.”

Quote of the day

As castles went, this one looked as though it could be taken by a small squad of not very efficient soldiers. For defence, putting a blanket over your head might be marginally safer.
