I didn't copy wikipedia, thank you very much. I copied a science website.

 

Still copypasta'd.

Don't try to get around it.

 

She fell for the trap. <_<

No I didn't just directly copy and paste because I summed it up because it had too many dam big words in it. =/

 

Where do you think Wikipedia gets its info?

They just don't pull it off out of nowhere.

 

Oh really? I though Wikipedia was run by a bunch of geeky boys who can't get laid and spend their miserable lives posting information for us.

I know it proves I have too much time on my hands.

Ok you've gone a little off topic here.

Back on track.

Viruses are living, but they're not alive... if you get what I mean. They're like capsules with with strings of protien in them. These capsules invade a body and stick to cells, they implant the protien strings into the cell. The protien strings are actually instructions like DNA, they tell cells to make more of the virus instead of the job they were meant to do.

 

its like when a computer or electrical device cant switch on. Lots of peole say "The [insert device here] has died."

But how could it have died, when it wasn't living in the first place?

Kinda like you then, except not male, right?

 

...right? o_o

 

That was some nice logic, Alfius, but also stupidly presented considering the context. :/

From what I learned in bio, viruses are considered non-living because they cannot reproduce without the aid of a cell that they have taken over.

 

But it feels kind of weird to call a virus non-living; it's not something you'd expect.

 

Maybe they should edit the definition of what 'living' actually means, because most people assume that a virus is living, and I thought it was at first.
