Scientists Discover a Giant Virus . . .

. . . in Siberian Permafrost.

So, . . . umm, . . . what do they intend to do with it ?

THEY'RE GOING TO THAW IT AND "WAKE IT UP" ! ! !

What is wrong with these people??? Haven't they ever seen "The Blob" or "X: The Unknown" or "The Quatermass Xperiment" ?
These things never turn out well.

Ref: cnet

And as they wait for it to thaw out a pair of scientist will sneak off alone...............

I fear the damn thing's gonna wake up and announce that its name is Stern.

Ooo, a new discovery, how cool. Heck ya thaw it out, set it out in the sun and give it some fresh air. Preferably in a well populated place. That this has to breathe i'm sure.

BTW the cnet link didn't work for me.

Hmm, . . . the link works for poor old DonDiego. Perhaps, a virus is in jatki99's digital communications system.

More $$$ for the pharmaceutical companies.

How bout they take it and let it loose on Isis.

Ah yes "The Blob" it is always on Tutontow's list when he has drive in movie night here at the casa.

...and after Jane's escape from The Blob she changed her name went to college and became an elementary teacher in North Carolina.
She dated a Sheriff there for years and they eventually married.

This is what I heard anyway.

This bothers me. Why do they always marry sheriffs?

I mean, OK, fine. Let’s suppose you have a little run-in with a gelatinous alien lifeform that looks like something you could put on your toast in the morning. You survive, so it’s no big deal, right? Doesn’t mean that you HAVE TO marry a sheriff.

Odds are that you’ll never encounter one of those mucous membranes again. And, if you do, it’s probably all over anyway, because the sheriff ain’t gonna be able to help much, and you ain’t gonna get away from the damn thing twice.

So, why not marry a pharmacist?
