Massive Virus Found in Water Cooling Tower Scientists have discovered what they think to be the largest virus in the world, larger than some bacteria. It was found in a water-cooling tower in Bradford, England, feeding on Amoebas. Is it just me, or does this scare the hell out of anyone else. All I can imagine is this tower incubating mankinds' death. Now, they don't know if this virus even has a physiological effect, but they do think it can infect humans. I am inclined to believe the work of Dr. Frank Ryan, who claims that the end of the human race will come at the hands of a virus. The mutation process is just too quick for our internal antibody engines to keep up. I don't even want to get into antibiotic abuses and malicious bioengineering efforts. We can worry all day long about some big meteor hitting Earth, catastrophic global warming, or any number of other horrors from beyond, but I'd put my money on the little guys to take us out.
