sweet, i can start smoking again.

Since I'm a smoker, I've been making $$ contributions to cancer research for the last 10 years or so with the thought that I may actually benefit from it someday. Glad to see a return on my investment.

Maybe now all you whiny ass sissy bitches will shut up about smoking in bars.

It seems that the entire goal of the western world has become to prolong life infinitely. People are supposed to die. People rarely used to get cancer because they only lived for 40-50 years. As the life expectancy rises, so do the number of deadly diseases that we encounter. Nature is fighting back.

You know, I never really understood that either. I'm not a deathmonger, but...man, the world is getting pretty crowded as it is. What's the point in keeping everyone around indefinitely? That said, if I get cancer...I'm stoked about this news.

If they passed out rubbers in China it wouldn't be as bad. They hump like bunnies over there.

I believe China limits the number of kids per family.

I think that China heavily taxes couples that have more than one child.

I was working with someone from our Shanghai office and he saw my kids picture on my desk. He mentioned them and showed me a picture of his son. Having two kids I mentioned that I didn't want to have more children. He looked kind of sad and said he wanted more kids but wasn't allowed. I felt like an ass for a second.

Designing a custom human cell-killing virus that rapidly reproduces... nah, something like that couldn't have any unintended consequences.

Relax. It's not like viruses mutate.

Right. They based it off the common cold virus, so it's not contagious or anything I'm sure.

General_Failure · October 20, 2006, 05:50:49 PM

They're Asian scientists, right? I'm sure they've checked and double-checked the odds on it mutating to kill us all. Or all non-Asians.

We've all got good health care right? So what's to worry about? Does the virus get you high? I'll try it.
