Science man was not meant to know.

Scientists have recently resurrected a "fossilized" virus. Apparently this thing caused hell and havoc with our ancestors. But hey, now it’s back for round 2. Sure they point out that we've evolved immunity to it but don't viruses evolve too? And like really, really fast?

I am all for scientific progress. But sometimes you have to wonder if it is a good idea. Don't scientists watch/read any sci-fi? It seems like in every other Star Trek they would find a planet were the scientists discovered something that got out of hand. . .like an ancient virus or a rift in space or some sort of sentient robot that would then go about destroying the place, taking care to leave one survivor to pass on the cautionary tale.

Just cause we can might not mean we should. It’s only a matter of time before our Roombas rebel and start to nuke us, a la Cylons.
